Aircraft classes that fit this runway
This compares each aircraft's published takeoff distance against KTVL's longest runway only. It does not account for this field's 6,268 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.
