01Runways
| Runway | Length × width | Surface | Lighting |
|---|---|---|---|
| 06/24 | 5,400 × 100 ft | asphalt | lit |
| 17/35 | 3,860 × 75 ft | asphalt | unlit |
02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins
Standard temperature at 127 ft is about 15°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, 15°C) | 127 ft | 2,463 ft | 2,123 ft | 3,185 ft |
| Warm day (ISA +10) | 1,327 ft | 2,697 ft | 2,250 ft | 3,375 ft |
| Hot day (ISA +20) | 2,527 ft | 2,931 ft | 2,377 ft | 3,565 ft |
| 35°C afternoon | 2,557 ft | 2,937 ft | 2,380 ft | 3,570 ft |
