Bradford County Airport serves Towanda, Pennsylvania at 730 ft elevation with its longest runway, 05/23, at 4,301 by 75 ft. The figures below are computed from FAA NASR runway data (via OurAirports) and the same rules of thumb JetDesk uses on the airport page in the app; the POH and current NOTAMs are the authority.

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 730 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)	730 ft	2,580 ft	2,187 ft	3,281 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	1,930 ft	2,814 ft	2,314 ft	3,470 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	3,130 ft	3,048 ft	2,440 ft	3,660 ft
35°C afternoon	3,305 ft	3,083 ft	2,459 ft	3,688 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (05/23, 4,301 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,688 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.

03Nearby fields with 5,000 ft or more

Useful as alternates, as fuel stops when the price at KN27 is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.
