Runways at 3N8

2 runway ends on file. Longest: 3,210 ft. Max gradient: 0.05%

Designator Heading Length Width Surface Lighting Gradient

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).
