Collegedale Municipal Airport

at Collegedale Municipal Airport

From Terry Cox on 26-May-2008

Flew in Memorial Day weekend for a friend's wedding. Outstanding people serve this little airport. They try to do everything they can to accommodate visiting aircraft. With threatening weather chasing us all the way to Tennessee, I was able to store my plane in a gentleman's empty hangar for the two nights we were there--what great hospitality!! The runway is a little sloped (especially for a flatlander like me from Oklahoma) but nothing to difficult to negotiate. The airport sits in a small valley and you nearly have to be on top of it to see it. The price of fuel is now $5.38 including taxes--a little pricey but made up by the tremendous people at Collegedale. If my travels ever bring me back to this area, this will be my first choice to stop and stay longer.

I have just discovered this excellent airport staffed with great folks! After landing at Collegedale Airport I discovered I had a problem with an idler pulley bearing. Mr. Frank Zarski, the Airport Manager, made some calls and told us none of the maintenance personnel were on the field at the moment but would have the first one to return phone me. Within a few minutes Roger from Top Flight Aviation called saying he had verified the problem and found the part. He quoted me prices and said that the owner would come in on Sunday to do the work. The owner, Mr. Stuart Pruitt (spelling?) called just after noon on Sunday saying the part was installed, the engine had been tested, and I was ready to depart, as scheduled, on Monday morning. As soon as they get an instrument approach there won't be much need to land at the "big airport." I highly recommend stopping in any time you have a chance whether just for fuel or for a visit. Enterprise is close by and very accommodating as well.

A very nice alternative to CHA. Very friendly staff, convenient fueling, courtesy car available, and a nice restaurant upstairs above the FBO. This is a great half-way stopping/fueling point going from Ohio to the Gulf.

Collegedale's reported (as of 1/11/06) 100LL avgas price of $3.16 is understated by 14 cents per gallon as it DOES NOT include taxes. The true per gallon price is $3.30 per gallon. I reported this fact to airport management about 2 weeks ago, and they said they would correct it, but did not. I purchased fuel there this weekend (1/7/06) and can confirm the $3.30 per gallon figure. I have posted a correction to AirNav. Other than that, it's a very nice airport!

If you are flying in the Chattanooga, TN area, this is a must stop. Extremely friendly and helpful. Rented a hotel room for an overnight, and one of the locals insisted on driving us there instead of calling a cab.
