Runways at 3S7

2 runway ends on file. Longest: 2,350 ft. Max gradient: 0.85%

Designator Heading Length Width Surface Lighting Gradient
15 — 2,350 ft 50 ft Asphalt (good) No 0.85%

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).
