No FAA diagram published

The FAA does not publish an Airport Diagram (APD) for KAPV — 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 KAPV

4 runway ends on file. Longest: 6,498 ft. Max gradient: 1.47% (noticeable slope — affects performance)

Designator Heading Length Width Surface Lighting Gradient
18 196° 6,498 ft 150 ft ASP Yes 1.47%
36 016° 6,498 ft 150 ft ASP Yes 1.47%
08 090° 4,100 ft 60 ft ASP Yes 0.43%
26 270° 4,100 ft 60 ft ASP Yes 0.43%

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).
