Perkins Field serves Overton, Nevada at 1,358 ft elevation with its longest runway, 13/31, at 4,800 by 75 ft. The figures below are computed from FAA NASR runway data (via OurAirports) and the same rules of thumb JetDesk uses on the airport page in the app; the POH and current NOTAMs are the authority.

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 1,358 ft is about 12°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, 12°C)	1,358 ft	2,703 ft	2,253 ft	3,380 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	2,558 ft	2,937 ft	2,380 ft	3,570 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	3,758 ft	3,171 ft	2,506 ft	3,760 ft
35°C afternoon	4,084 ft	3,235 ft	2,541 ft	3,811 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (13/31, 4,800 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,811 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 KU08 is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.
