Gimp 2.8.2

If I get correctly: you want for the airbrush to start fading after your stroke has crossed a given length. For this, you need to associate the "Fade Length" option (in Tools options, which you seem to have found) to a dynamics with "fade" checked. If your dynamics is not set to fade, then I think the "Fade length" slider's value does not matter (as far as I can see).

Go edit your dynamics (or create one). In the mapping matrix, you can set fade to a bunch of values. Let's assume we want the opacity to fade (we could also imagine that the brush size is "fading", etc.). So check the intersection between Opacity and Fade in the matrix. By default though, it is more of a fade in. So you should go in the Opacity dynamics graph (in the scrolldown menu where you have the mapping matrix) and have the line goes down rather than up. From there, this specific dynamics will use the "Fade length" slider's value.

And you should get what you want.
