Thrust effects we can discount largely - the variation at idle for ambients is not going to be a major concern.

Main concern will be weight which will determine approach IAS. Hotter and higher will increase the TAS so you would expect, other things being equal, to see an increase in distance with increasing OAT and Hp. As a first approximation, the distance will vary as approach speed (specifically GS) squared.

If your chart doesn't provide for OAT variation, entering the Hp scale with density height works well as a starting point.

Not significantly different to your smaller piston GA Types.
