Aerial view · KLVN
No FAA diagram publishedThe FAA does not publish an Airport Diagram (APD) for KLVN — 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 KLVN
2 runway ends on file. Longest: 4,099 ft. Max gradient: 0.22%
| Designator | Heading | Length | Width | Surface | Lighting | Gradient |

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).
