02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 5,891 ft is about 3°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, 3°C)	5,891 ft	3,587 ft	2,732 ft	4,097 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	7,091 ft	3,821 ft	2,858 ft	4,287 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	8,291 ft	4,055 ft	2,985 ft	4,477 ft
35°C afternoon	9,705 ft	4,331 ft	3,134 ft	4,701 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (01/19, 5,003 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (4,701 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.
