Tegucigalpa's 6,112-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. Toncontín's demanding terrain approach further constrains heavy operations. Density altitude at 3,294 feet can trim payload on warm days. Final landing performance is calculated by the operating crew for the specific date, weather, and load.
