Aerial view · KIZA
No FAA diagram publishedThe FAA does not publish an Airport Diagram (APD) for KIZA — 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 KIZA
2 runway ends on file. Longest: 2,803 ft. Max gradient: 0.69%
| Designator | Heading | Length | Width | Surface | Lighting | Gradient |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 08 | 98.3° | 2,803 ft | 75 ft | ASP | Yes | 0.69% |
| 26 | 278.3° | 2,803 ft | 75 ft | ASP | Yes | 0.69% |
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).
