| Runway | Length × width | Surface | Lighting |
|---|---|---|---|
| 16/34 | 4,002 × 100 ft | asphalt | lit |
02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins
Standard temperature at 821 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) | 821 ft | 2,598 ft | 2,197 ft | 3,295 ft |
| Warm day (ISA +10) | 2,021 ft | 2,832 ft | 2,323 ft | 3,485 ft |
| Hot day (ISA +20) | 3,221 ft | 3,066 ft | 2,450 ft | 3,675 ft |
| 35°C afternoon | 3,418 ft | 3,105 ft | 2,471 ft | 3,706 ft |
