02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins
Standard temperature at 4,513 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) | 4,513 ft | 3,318 ft | 2,586 ft | 3,879 ft |
| Warm day (ISA +10) | 5,713 ft | 3,552 ft | 2,713 ft | 4,069 ft |
| Hot day (ISA +20) | 6,913 ft | 3,786 ft | 2,839 ft | 4,259 ft |
| 35°C afternoon | 7,996 ft | 3,998 ft | 2,954 ft | 4,430 ft |
