02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 898 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)	898 ft	2,613 ft	2,205 ft	3,307 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	2,098 ft	2,847 ft	2,331 ft	3,497 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	3,298 ft	3,081 ft	2,458 ft	3,687 ft
35°C afternoon	3,514 ft	3,123 ft	2,481 ft	3,721 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (17/35, 5,002 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,721 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 KPJC is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.
