02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 1,248 ft is about 13°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, 13°C)	1,248 ft	2,681 ft	2,242 ft	3,362 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	2,448 ft	2,915 ft	2,368 ft	3,552 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	3,648 ft	3,150 ft	2,495 ft	3,742 ft
35°C afternoon	3,948 ft	3,208 ft	2,527 ft	3,790 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (18/36, 5,199 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,790 ft needed). The percentages are a generic rule of thumb applied to one reference airplane, not certified performance data for any specific aircraft, and the runway size categories describe the runway, not your airplane's suitability. Verify with the approved flight manual before every flight.

Useful as alternates, as fuel stops when the price at KMGW is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.
