01Runways
| Runway | Length × width | Surface | Lighting |
|---|---|---|---|
| 06/24 | 6,001 × 75 ft | asphalt | lit |
02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins
Standard temperature at 4,269 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) | 4,269 ft | 3,271 ft | 2,560 ft | 3,841 ft |
| Warm day (ISA +10) | 5,469 ft | 3,505 ft | 2,687 ft | 4,030 ft |
| Hot day (ISA +20) | 6,669 ft | 3,739 ft | 2,814 ft | 4,220 ft |
| 35°C afternoon | 7,694 ft | 3,939 ft | 2,922 ft | 4,383 ft |
