01Runways

Runway	Length × width	Surface	Lighting
17/35	5,002 × 75 ft	asphalt	lit
08/26	2,145 × 60 ft	turf	unlit

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 2,963 ft is about 9°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, 9°C)	2,963 ft	3,016 ft	2,423 ft	3,634 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	4,163 ft	3,250 ft	2,549 ft	3,824 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	5,363 ft	3,484 ft	2,676 ft	4,014 ft
35°C afternoon	6,074 ft	3,623 ft	2,751 ft	4,126 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (17/35, 5,002 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (4,126 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 KTQK is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.
