DescriptionJohn C. Tune Airport (ICAO: KJWN, FAA LID: JWN) is a public airport located in the western portion of the city of Nashville in Davidson County, Tennessee, United States. The airport was planned in the 1970s and built in the early 1980s as a "reliever airport" designed to divert almost all general aviation from Nashville International Airport (Berry Field), leaving the larger facility for flights on scheduled airlines and its service as an Air National Guard base. However, many general aviation users were reluctant to leave NIA and its well-developed infrastructure. Tune Airport was underutilized for years until increasing fees at NIA drove a considerable number of users to Tune in recent years. The airport covers an area of 390 acres (158 ha) at an elevation of 495 feet (151 m) above mean sea level. It has one asphalt paved runway designed 2/20 which measures 5,500 by 100 feet (1,676 x 30 m). The runway is long enough to serve small jets such as Lear Jets.
For the 12-month period ending March 6, 2009, the airport had 72,998 aircraft operations, an average of 199 per day: 70% general aviation, 29% air taxi and <1% military. At that time there were 165 aircraft based at this airport: 79% single-engine, 16% multi-engine, 3% jet and 2% helicopter. The above description has been prepared by IPACS forum user JetJockey10.
