Cochise College Airport serves Douglas, Arizona at 4,124 ft elevation with its longest runway, 05/23, at 5,551 by 60 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 4,124 ft is about 7°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, 7°C)	4,124 ft	3,242 ft	2,545 ft	3,818 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	5,324 ft	3,476 ft	2,672 ft	4,008 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	6,524 ft	3,710 ft	2,798 ft	4,197 ft
35°C afternoon	7,514 ft	3,904 ft	2,903 ft	4,354 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (05/23, 5,551 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (4,354 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.
