Frequently asked questions
Is customs clearance available at Lebanon Municipal (M54)?
Lebanon Municipal does not have onsite customs clearance. The nearest customs facility is Nashville International, located about 18 nautical miles away. Crews arriving from international points should plan to clear customs at Nashville International before or in place of landing at M54. Dispatchers should coordinate this routing in advance, since M54 itself is not equipped to process international arrivals. This makes M54 primarily a domestic-use field for business aviation traffic.
What are the runway options at Lebanon Municipal airport?
Lebanon Municipal offers one paved runway, 01/19, measuring 5,000 feet long and 100 feet wide with an asphalt surface. A second runway, 04/22, is a 1,801-foot turf strip that is 150 feet wide and unpaved. The paved runway is the primary option for business aviation traffic given its length and surface. The turf runway is available but limited to lighter aircraft suited to unpaved operations. Dispatchers planning larger jet operations should default to Runway 01/19.
Is the PAPI available on the runway at Lebanon Municipal (M54)?
The PAPI visual glideslope indicator at Lebanon Municipal is out of service indefinitely, according to the field's own remarks. Crews planning arrivals, particularly at night or in reduced visibility, should not rely on visual glideslope guidance at M54. This status applies airport-wide, as no specific runway end is called out separately in the remark. Alternative approach references, such as instrument procedures, should be used until this equipment is restored. There is no timeline provided for when service might resume.
Does Lebanon Municipal airport have air traffic control?
Lebanon Municipal is a non-towered airport, meaning there is no onsite air traffic control tower. Pilots operate using standard non-towered procedures, coordinating position and intentions over the common traffic frequency. The field's remarks note that clearance delivery inquiries should be directed to Nashville Approach. Flight training activity also occurs within the airport area, according to the field's remarks, so crews should expect a mix of traffic types. This is relevant for dispatchers planning arrivals and departures at M54.
What kind of traffic does Lebanon Municipal (M54) see, and is fuel available?
Lebanon Municipal recorded 2,809 total annual operations in 2025 per FAA TFMSC data, with 1,793 of those attributed to business aviation. Business aviation traffic held fairly steady through the year, peaking in September at 191 operations and dipping to a low of 79 in February. Both 100LL and Jet A fuel are listed as available at the field. The attendance schedule runs 0700-1900 from March through September and 0700-1700 from October through February. Dispatchers should plan fuel and service needs around these attendance hours.
