01Runways

Runway	Length × width	Surface	Lighting
17/35	5,800 × 60 ft	asphalt	lit
08/26	3,091 × 75 ft	turf	unlit

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 5,826 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)	5,826 ft	3,574 ft	2,725 ft	4,087 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	7,026 ft	3,808 ft	2,851 ft	4,277 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	8,226 ft	4,042 ft	2,978 ft	4,467 ft
35°C afternoon	9,624 ft	4,315 ft	3,125 ft	4,688 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (17/35, 5,800 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (4,688 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
