Runways at 6S9

2 runway ends on file. Longest: 2,630 ft. Max gradient: 1.52% (noticeable slope — affects performance)

Designator Heading Length Width Surface Lighting Gradient
13 — 2,630 ft 100 ft TURF-F No 1.52%
31 — 2,630 ft 100 ft TURF-F No 1.52%

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).
