What our brokers know about KSUN
Mountain field; approach limits and winter diversions common
At 7,550 ft, Friedman Memorial Airport has the fifth-longest runway of the 33 jet-capable fields in Idaho, and at 5,318 ft the field is high enough that density altitude takes a real bite out of what that runway will accept on a warm afternoon. Every one of the 24 types we broker clears it. 17 published route pages reach Sun Valley through this field.

Runway
What can operate here
Compared against the published balanced field length of every type we broker, with roughly 3% added per 1,000 ft of elevation for density altitude.
This is runway length only. Individual airports also restrict by wingspan, noise curfew, slot availability and special approach certification, and performance moves with temperature, weight and the day. Clearing the runway here means an aircraft is worth asking about — the operator confirms it, and signs for it.
