02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 577 ft is about 14°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, 14°C)	577 ft	2,551 ft	2,171 ft	3,256 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	1,777 ft	2,785 ft	2,297 ft	3,446 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	2,977 ft	3,019 ft	2,424 ft	3,636 ft
35°C afternoon	3,115 ft	3,046 ft	2,439 ft	3,658 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (05/23, 5,501 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,658 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 KVSF is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.
