It depends — Sun Valley / Hailey's 7,550-foot runway is marginal for the Gulfstream G650, so it operates weight-limited (reduced fuel or payload) and crew-calculated for the day's conditions. At 5,318 ft, 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.
