01Runways

Runway	Length × width	Surface	Lighting
13/31	6,600 × 100 ft	concrete (good)	unlit
03/21	4,705 × 75 ft	turf (good)	unlit

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 4,313 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)	4,313 ft	3,279 ft	2,565 ft	3,848 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	5,513 ft	3,513 ft	2,692 ft	4,037 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	6,713 ft	3,747 ft	2,818 ft	4,227 ft
35°C afternoon	7,748 ft	3,949 ft	2,927 ft	4,391 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (13/31, 6,600 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (4,391 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 KSNY is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.
