Lovell Fld sits in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Field elevation is 682.5 ft MSL. The airport has 2 asphalt runways. The longest is runway 02/20 at 7,400 ft. The tower is open daily from 0600 to 2350. Two ILS approaches are published for runway ends 02 and 20.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless ATC or the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. Wilson Air Center is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist.
A few operational notes matter here. Birds are reported in the area. Runway 02 has MALSR lighting. Runway 20 has touchdown zone lighting. Centerline lights are available on 02 and 20. High intensity runway lights on 02 and 20 are controlled on the CTAF. Runways 15 and 33 have medium intensity lights that are unavailable when the tower is closed. Hold short readback is required. Transient aircraft should stay clear of the security zone within 300 ft of the terminal building. The field is towered, so expect a busy radio environment. Check the current Chart Supplement for any noise or curfew restrictions before flying in.
