01Runways
| Runway | Length × width | Surface | Lighting |
|---|---|---|---|
| 18/36 | 4,750 × 100 ft | asphalt | lit |
02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins
Standard temperature at 614 ft is about 14°C. Every 1,000 ft of density altitude adds roughly 8 percent to a turboprop's takeoff distance and 5 percent to its landing distance. The table uses Piper Meridian book numbers (2,438 ft takeoff and 2,110 ft landing over a 50 ft obstacle at sea level, ISA, max weight) as a reference airplane; heavier turboprops and light jets scale the same way from their own POH figures.
| Conditions | Density altitude | Takeoff est. | Landing est. | Landing × 1.5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard day (ISA, 14°C) | 614 ft | 2,558 ft | 2,175 ft | 3,262 ft |
| Warm day (ISA +10) | 1,814 ft | 2,792 ft | 2,301 ft | 3,452 ft |
| Hot day (ISA +20) | 3,014 ft | 3,026 ft | 2,428 ft | 3,642 ft |
| 35°C afternoon | 3,161 ft | 3,055 ft | 2,443 ft | 3,665 ft |
