No FAA diagram published

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

2 runway ends on file. Longest: 3,700 ft. Max gradient: 1.23% (noticeable slope — affects performance)

Designator Heading Length Width Surface Lighting Gradient
07 084° 3,700 ft 75 ft ASP Yes 1.23%
25 264° 3,700 ft 75 ft ASP Yes 1.23%

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).
