Runways at 2G8

2 runway ends on file. Longest: 2,828 ft. Max gradient: 1.24% (noticeable slope — affects performance)

Designator Heading Length Width Surface Lighting Gradient
12 — 2,828 ft 60 ft TURF-G No 1.24%
30 — 2,828 ft 60 ft TURF-G No 1.24%

Source: in-app airport database (runway lengths + headings), OurAirports for surface, width, lighting. Gradient computed from FAA NASR runway-end elevation deltas (the published RWY_GRAD field is empty in 99.99% of NASR rows; we derive it from the elevations the FAA does publish).
