Knoxville Downtown Island Airport sits in Knoxville, Tennessee. Field elevation is 833.2 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 08/26, at 3,499 ft. There is no control tower. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston ops unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
Runway 26 has an ILS approach. Runway 08 is listed as the calm wind runway. The field uses CTAF and UNICOM 123.075. Ground and approach services are also published. Knoxville Approach handles clearance delivery. The on-field FBO is Knoxville Downtown Island Airport. It carries 100LL and Jet A with Prist. Self-serve 100LL is available 24 hours a day with a credit card.
A few items matter for a first visit. There is a noise sensitive area 1 NM southwest of runway 26, so plan departures to avoid that neighborhood. A temporary flight restriction is published over the stadium 2.5 miles west. Geese are reported on and near the airport, so keep a sharp scan on takeoff and landing. Runway end identifier lights, medium intensity runway lights and PAPI are installed on both runway ends. Taxiway lights operate from dusk to dawn with preset low intensity. If you need current restriction details, call the airport operator or check the current FAA Chart Supplement before departure.
