02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 811 ft is about 13°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, 13°C)	811 ft	2,596 ft	2,196 ft	3,293 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	2,011 ft	2,830 ft	2,322 ft	3,483 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	3,211 ft	3,064 ft	2,449 ft	3,673 ft
35°C afternoon	3,406 ft	3,102 ft	2,469 ft	3,704 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (15/33, 4,004 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,704 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 KUMP is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.
