Lanai Airport serves Lanai City, Hawaii at 1,308 ft elevation with its longest runway, 03/21, at 5,001 by 150 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 1,308 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)	1,308 ft	2,693 ft	2,248 ft	3,372 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	2,508 ft	2,927 ft	2,375 ft	3,562 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	3,708 ft	3,161 ft	2,501 ft	3,752 ft
35°C afternoon	4,022 ft	3,222 ft	2,534 ft	3,801 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (03/21, 5,001 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,801 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.

Useful as alternates, as fuel stops when the price at PHNY is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.
