Aircraft above 70,000 lb max gross takeoff weight (75,000 lb for Stage III) need a one time exception from the airport executive director. Noise abatement procedures are in effect with quiet hours 2200 to 0700 local and defined noise sensitive areas; contact the noise office at 303-790-0598. Runway 17R-35L closed traffic must remain south of Arapahoe Road, east of I-25, and north of Lincoln Ave. Waterfowl and cranes are reported on and near the field.
Aircraft classes that fit this runway
This compares each aircraft's published takeoff distance against KAPA's longest runway only. It does not account for this field's 5,885 ft elevation, temperature, or terrain, all of which cut into real performance at density altitude, and several of these are mountain fields where that gap matters. Treat this as a starting point for a conversation with us, never as clearance to fly here.
Takeoff distances are published under differing conditions and are not directly comparable between types. Confirm against the operator and the AFM for a specific aircraft, weight, and day.
