Runways at KWHP
2 runway ends on file. Longest: 4,120 ft. Max gradient: 1.04% (noticeable slope — affects performance)
| Designator | Heading | Length | Width | Surface | Lighting | Gradient |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 12 | 139° | 4,120 ft | 75 ft | ASP | Yes | 1.04% |
| 30 | 319° | 4,120 ft | 75 ft | ASP | Yes | 1.04% |
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).
