Runways at 3U2
2 runway ends on file. Longest: 3,400 ft. Max gradient: 1.59% (noticeable slope — affects performance)
| Designator | Heading | Length | Width | Surface | Lighting | Gradient |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 17 | 191° | 3,400 ft | 150 ft | TURF-G | No | 1.59% |
| 35 | 011° | 3,400 ft | 150 ft | TURF-G | No | 1.59% |
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).
