Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport (Lovell Field), KCHA, lies in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and combines scheduled airline service with a busy general aviation scene inside Class C airspace. Its long, ILS-equipped main runway and a shorter crosswind runway make it a versatile destination for simulator pilots practising both airline-style approaches and general aviation circuits.
Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport, known locally as Lovell Field, serves Chattanooga, Tennessee, handling a mix of airline and general aviation traffic. For a simulator pilot it offers the chance to fly an ILS approach into a Class C field, then observe or practise general aviation operations on the shorter crosswind runway.
KCHA sits within Class C controlled airspace centred on Chattanooga, Tennessee, at coordinates 35.0352 N, 85.2036 W and an elevation of 673 feet. The field is served by its own approach and departure control, reflecting its status as a controlled, airline-served airport rather than an uncontrolled country strip.
KCHA has two physical runways. The primary runway, 02/20, is a hard-surfaced, lit runway of roughly 7,391-7,392 feet and is equipped with an ILS. The secondary runway, 15/33, is also hard-surfaced and lit, measuring about 5,466 feet on the 15 heading and 4,997 feet on the 33 heading, without an ILS.
Radio services at KCHA include Chattanooga Approach on 119.2 MHz and 122.5 MHz, Chattanooga Departure on 119.2 MHz, Chattanooga Tower on 118.3 MHz (also the CTAF), Ground on 121.7 MHz, and Clearance Delivery on 120.95 MHz. ATIS broadcasts on 119.85 MHz, and Unicom is available on 122.95 MHz. The field is equipped with an ILS, supporting instrument approaches to the 02/20 runway.
Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport continues to operate as a controlled, ILS-equipped field supporting both scheduled airline flights and general aviation activity. Further operational details are published by the airport operator at flycha.com.
