Moran Field serves Westernport, Maryland at 2,080 ft elevation with its longest runway, 14/32, at 4,000 by 60 ft. The figures below are computed from FAA NASR runway data (via OurAirports) and the same rules of thumb JetDesk uses on the airport page in the app; the POH and current NOTAMs are the authority.

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 2,080 ft is about 11°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, 11°C)	2,080 ft	2,844 ft	2,329 ft	3,494 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	3,280 ft	3,078 ft	2,456 ft	3,684 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	4,480 ft	3,312 ft	2,583 ft	3,874 ft
35°C afternoon	4,979 ft	3,409 ft	2,635 ft	3,953 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (14/32, 4,000 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,953 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 MD99 is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.
