02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 3,883 ft is about 7°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, 7°C)	3,883 ft	3,195 ft	2,520 ft	3,779 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	5,083 ft	3,429 ft	2,646 ft	3,969 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	6,283 ft	3,663 ft	2,773 ft	4,159 ft
35°C afternoon	7,215 ft	3,845 ft	2,871 ft	4,307 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (01/19, 5,500 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (4,307 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.
