02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins
Standard temperature at 4,415 ft is about 6°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, 6°C) | 4,415 ft | 3,299 ft | 2,576 ft | 3,864 ft |
| Warm day (ISA +10) | 5,615 ft | 3,533 ft | 2,702 ft | 4,054 ft |
| Hot day (ISA +20) | 6,815 ft | 3,767 ft | 2,829 ft | 4,243 ft |
| 35°C afternoon | 7,875 ft | 3,974 ft | 2,941 ft | 4,411 ft |
