Runways
Which private jets can use GUA?
General guidance from the longest paved runway and La Aurora's 4,952 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.
