02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 3,167 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)	3,167 ft	3,056 ft	2,444 ft	3,666 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	4,367 ft	3,290 ft	2,571 ft	3,856 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	5,567 ft	3,524 ft	2,697 ft	4,046 ft
35°C afternoon	6,327 ft	3,672 ft	2,777 ft	4,166 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (10/28, 5,000 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (4,166 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.
