Runways at KGOO

2 runway ends on file. Longest: 4,657 ft. Max gradient: 1.87% (noticeable slope — affects performance)

Designator Heading Length Width Surface Lighting Gradient
07 087° 4,657 ft 75 ft ASP Yes 1.87%
25 267° 4,657 ft 75 ft ASP Yes 1.87%

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).
