Nashville Intl is in Nashville, Tennessee. Field elevation is 599 ft MSL. The airport has four runways. The longest is 11,030 ft on runway 13/31. The other paved runways are 02C/20C at 8,001 ft, 02R/20L at 8,001 ft and 02L/20R at 7,704 ft. The control tower is open 24 hours. Six ILS approaches are published for runway ends 02C, 02L, 02R, 20L, 20R and 31. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts. Use the current FAA Chart Supplement before arrival if you need the exact traffic pattern entry. For light piston traffic, the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern is the normal reference. That would be 1,599 ft MSL at this field.
This is a busy Class C airport with airline and GA traffic mixing on the same field. Expect close attention to taxi instructions and runway assignments. The published remarks also call out a lighted jet blast fence near the 31 threshold, so watch your spacing on that end. Runway 20R uses LED approach lighting. That matters if you are flying an EFVS-equipped airplane. Two on-field FBOs are listed. Signature Aviation carries 100LL and Jet A. Atlantic Aviation carries 100LL and Jet A. The airport also notes prior permission is required 48 hours in advance for transient aircraft. Verify current arrival requirements with the airport operator or the FBO directly before you go.
