02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 4,488 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)	4,488 ft	3,313 ft	2,583 ft	3,875 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	5,688 ft	3,547 ft	2,710 ft	4,065 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	6,888 ft	3,781 ft	2,837 ft	4,255 ft
35°C afternoon	7,965 ft	3,991 ft	2,950 ft	4,425 ft

Planning aid only. On a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (01/19, 4,314 ft) is within 20 percent of the 1.5x landing figure for a Meridian-class turboprop (4,425 ft). Plan hot-day departures for the morning and check the POH. 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 KU02 is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.
