Runways at W24
2 runway ends on file. Longest: 2,932 ft. Max gradient: 4.66% (noticeable slope — affects performance)
| Designator | Heading | Length | Width | Surface | Lighting | Gradient |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 | — | 2,932 ft | 50 ft | Asphalt (good) | No | 4.66% |
| 28 | — | 2,932 ft | 50 ft | Asphalt (good) | No | 4.66% |
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).
