02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins
Standard temperature at 5,045 ft is about 5°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, 5°C) | 5,045 ft | 3,422 ft | 2,642 ft | 3,963 ft |
| Warm day (ISA +10) | 6,245 ft | 3,656 ft | 2,769 ft | 4,153 ft |
| Hot day (ISA +20) | 7,445 ft | 3,890 ft | 2,895 ft | 4,343 ft |
| 35°C afternoon | 8,656 ft | 4,126 ft | 3,023 ft | 4,535 ft |
