01Runways
| Runway | Length × width | Surface | Lighting |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7/25 | 11,800 × 200 ft | asphalt | lit |
02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins
Standard temperature at 633 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) | 633 ft | 2,561 ft | 2,177 ft | 3,265 ft |
| Warm day (ISA +10) | 1,833 ft | 2,796 ft | 2,303 ft | 3,455 ft |
| Hot day (ISA +20) | 3,033 ft | 3,030 ft | 2,430 ft | 3,645 ft |
| 35°C afternoon | 3,185 ft | 3,059 ft | 2,446 ft | 3,669 ft |
