No FAA diagram published

The FAA does not publish an Airport Diagram (APD) for K56D — most non-towered fields, heliports, seaplane bases, and private strips fall here. Below: aerial imagery showing the actual field, runways, taxiways, and surroundings.

Runways at K56D

2 runway ends on file. Longest: 3,997 ft. Max gradient: 0.11%

Designator	Heading	Length	Width	Surface	Lighting	Gradient
18	180.3°	3,997 ft	75 ft	ASP	Yes	0.11%
36	0.3°	3,997 ft	75 ft	ASP	Yes	0.11%

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).
