01Runways
| Runway | Length × width | Surface | Lighting |

| 08/26 | 4,294 × 60 ft | asphalt | lit |
02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins
Standard temperature at 4,792 ft is about 5°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, 5°C) | 4,792 ft | 3,373 ft | 2,616 ft | 3,923 ft |
| Warm day (ISA +10) | 5,992 ft | 3,607 ft | 2,742 ft | 4,113 ft |
| Hot day (ISA +20) | 7,192 ft | 3,841 ft | 2,869 ft | 4,303 ft |
| 35°C afternoon | 8,342 ft | 4,065 ft | 2,990 ft | 4,485 ft |
