Floyd W. Jones Lebanon Airport (KLBO) is a city-owned public-use airfield three nautical miles south of Lebanon, Missouri, offering two paved runways and unattended CTAF/UNICOM operation. It sits within Springfield's approach and departure airspace and serves a modest but active general aviation community, making it a straightforward VFR destination for sim pilots exploring the Missouri Ozarks.
Floyd W. Jones Lebanon Airport is a small, city-owned general aviation field serving Lebanon, Missouri, in Laclede County. It lies at 1,312 feet elevation and offers two paved, lit runways, making it a useful stop for cross-country training or touring flights through the Ozark region. The airport is included in the FAA's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems as a general aviation facility, reflecting its role as a local, non-towered field rather than a major hub.
KLBO is located about three nautical miles south of the central business district of Lebanon, Missouri, in Laclede County. The field operates within the airspace overseen by Springfield Approach/Departure, whose frequency (121.1 MHz) covers arrivals and departures in the area. There is no operating control tower at Lebanon itself, so pilots coordinate directly with Springfield for transit through the surrounding airspace before self-announcing on the local frequency.
The airport has two physical runways. Runway 18/36 is 4,998 feet long with a hard surface and runway lighting, forming the primary landing surface. Runway 09/27 is a shorter hard-surfaced strip of approximately 2,280/2,279 feet, also lit, providing a crosswind option. There is no ILS approach available at the field.
Lebanon is served by Springfield Approach/Departure on 121.1 MHz for arrivals and departures in the surrounding airspace. Local weather is available via AWOS-3 on 118.975 MHz. Columbia Radio can be reached on 122.5 MHz. The airfield's own CTAF/UNICOM frequency is 122.8 MHz, used for self-announced traffic calls and unicom communications since there is no control tower on site.
Lebanon is a non-towered airfield, so pilots operate under standard see-and-avoid procedures, making position calls on the CTAF/UNICOM frequency of 122.8 MHz when inbound, in the pattern, and departing. Pilots should monitor Springfield Approach/Departure on 121.1 MHz when operating in the wider local airspace before transitioning to the airfield frequency for circuit work.
The airfield lies approximately three nautical miles south of the town of Lebanon, Missouri, which serves as the principal visual landmark for pilots inbound from the north. No further published visual reference points are noted.
Floyd W. Jones Lebanon Airport is owned by the City of Lebanon and has long been classified under the FAA's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems as a general aviation airport, reflecting its established role as a community-serving field rather than a commercial airport.
The airport remains a busy general aviation field: in the twelve months to December 2020 it recorded 18,125 aircraft operations, an average of 50 per day, with the mix split between general aviation (93 percent), air taxi (4 percent) and military (3 percent) traffic. As of November 2023, 28 aircraft were based at the field, comprising 23 single-engine aircraft, one multi-engine aircraft, three jets and one helicopter. The airfield continues to be publicly owned and operated by the City of Lebanon.
