Samedan / St Moritz's 5,905-foot runway is marginal for the Dassault Falcon 2000, so it operates weight-limited — reduced fuel or payload, crew-calculated for the day's conditions. At 5,600 feet, density altitude cuts performance, so plan on weight or fuel limits on warm days. Final landing performance is calculated by the operating crew for the specific date, weather, and load.
