Runways at KBDN
2 runway ends on file. Longest: 5,201 ft. Max gradient: 1.08% (noticeable slope — affects performance)
| Designator | Heading | Length | Width | Surface | Lighting | Gradient |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 16 | 180° | 5,201 ft | 75 ft | ASPH-E | No | 1.08% |
| 34 | — | 5,201 ft | 75 ft | ASPH-E | No | 1.08% |
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).
