01Runways
| Runway | Length × width | Surface | Lighting |
|---|---|---|---|
| 17/35 | 5,506 × 100 ft | asphalt | lit |
| 13/31 | 3,137 × 75 ft | asphalt | lit |
02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins
Standard temperature at 1,160 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) | 1,160 ft | 2,664 ft | 2,232 ft | 3,349 ft |
| Warm day (ISA +10) | 2,360 ft | 2,898 ft | 2,359 ft | 3,538 ft |
| Hot day (ISA +20) | 3,560 ft | 3,132 ft | 2,486 ft | 3,728 ft |
| 35°C afternoon | 3,838 ft | 3,187 ft | 2,515 ft | 3,772 ft |
