John C Tune Airport (KJWN) is a general aviation airfield on the northwest edge of Nashville, Tennessee, situated on a bend of the Cumberland River. It offers a single hard-surfaced runway with an instrument landing system on one approach, making it a useful reliever field for pilots avoiding the busier Nashville International traffic.
John C Tune Airport is a general aviation airport serving the Nashville, Tennessee area, sitting at an elevation of 479 feet. It has a single physical runway, 02/20, which is equipped with an ILS on the runway 20 approach, giving it useful instrument capability for a field of its size and making it a practical alternative to the larger commercial airport for general aviation traffic in and out of Nashville.
The airport lies about one mile northwest of downtown Nashville, Tennessee, on around 374 acres of land near the Cumberland River. Nashville Approach/Departure provides the surrounding terminal radar service on 119.35 MHz, and pilots operating to or from John C Tune should expect to coordinate with this facility given its proximity to Nashville International's airspace.
The airport has a single physical runway, 02/20, of hard surface construction and equipped with runway lighting. The 02 threshold gives a landing distance of 5,491 feet, while the 20 threshold gives 4,988 feet; the runway 20 approach is served by an ILS.
Nashville Approach/Departure can be reached on 119.35 MHz. Field weather is available from AWOS-3 on 127.075 MHz. Clearance delivery is available on 124.55 MHz, and the common traffic advisory frequency/UNICOM is 122.7 MHz. The runway 20 approach is supported by an ILS.
John C Tune is a non-towered field, so arriving and departing traffic should monitor and make calls on the CTAF/UNICOM frequency of 122.7 MHz. Pilots flying instrument approaches or operating under a clearance should expect to work with Nashville Approach/Departure on 119.35 MHz.
John C Tune continues to operate as a general aviation airport for the Nashville area, with an ILS-equipped runway giving it instrument approach capability alongside its role as a base for local general aviation traffic. Pilots should check current NOTAMs and local procedures before flying in, as with any uncontrolled field near major terminal airspace.
