Runways
Which private jets can use ASE?
General guidance from the longest paved runway and Aspen-Pitkin County's 7,838 ft elevation, which lengthens every takeoff. We assume each size needs its typical full-weight takeoff length, lengthened 8% per 1,000 ft of elevation. Hot days, wet runways and the operator's own limits change it, so the operator confirms each flight.
