Runways at KTSP
2 runway ends on file. Longest: 4,040 ft. Max gradient: 1.06% (noticeable slope — affects performance)
| Designator | Heading | Length | Width | Surface | Lighting | Gradient |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 11 | 124° | 4,040 ft | 75 ft | ASP | Yes | 1.06% |
| 29 | 304° | 4,040 ft | 75 ft | ASP | Yes | 1.06% |
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).
