Q400 on 3500' Runway

Anyone ever flown a Q400 in/out of 3500' runways?

If so, what kind of weight penalty is imposed.

Q400 on 3500' Runway

What altitude and temperatures are we talking about? Limiting terrain in the area? Or just a flat 3500' into wind with nothing around and ISA at sea level?

At zero field elevation and ISA conditions you can carry approx. 25000 kg take off weight out of a 3500 ft runway.
The maximum landing weight will also be around 25000 kg. All calculated with no limiting obstacles.
For ISA+20 conditions the max takeoff weight will reduce about 1000 kg.

Yes, sea level to 1000 asl.

OATs up to +25C.

I'm more concerned about the landing weight as I'll be departing empty but with full fuel.
