01Runways
| Runway | Length × width | Surface | Lighting |

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins
Standard temperature at 1,287 ft is about 12°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, 12°C) | 1,287 ft | 2,689 ft | 2,246 ft | 3,369 ft |
| Warm day (ISA +10) | 2,487 ft | 2,923 ft | 2,372 ft | 3,559 ft |
| Hot day (ISA +20) | 3,687 ft | 3,157 ft | 2,499 ft | 3,748 ft |
| 35°C afternoon | 3,996 ft | 3,217 ft | 2,532 ft | 3,797 ft |
