01Runways

Runway	Length × width	Surface	Lighting
13/31	4,985 × 75 ft	asphalt	lit
07/25	2,133 × 50 ft	turf	unlit

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 5,863 ft is about 3°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, 3°C)	5,863 ft	3,582 ft	2,729 ft	4,093 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	7,063 ft	3,816 ft	2,855 ft	4,283 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	8,263 ft	4,050 ft	2,982 ft	4,473 ft
35°C afternoon	9,670 ft	4,324 ft	3,130 ft	4,695 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (13/31, 4,985 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (4,695 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
