Frequently asked questions
Is customs available on-site at KSRB?
Upper Cumberland Regional does not have customs service on-site. The nearest customs facility is at KBNA, located approximately 55.85 nautical miles away. Crews requiring customs clearance need to route through that airport rather than Sparta. This distance should be factored into international trip planning well before arrival. Dispatchers should confirm current customs procedures directly with the servicing facility at KBNA.
What runway does KSRB offer for business aviation traffic?
KSRB has a single runway, 04/22, measuring 6704 feet long and 100 feet wide with an asphalt surface. This length accommodates most business jet types operating into Upper Cumberland Regional. The runway is paved, supporting consistent performance planning across aircraft categories. With only one runway available, crosswind conditions on either runway heading should be checked against forecast wind data for the day of operation.
What fuel is available at Upper Cumberland Regional?
Upper Cumberland Regional stocks 100LL and A+ fuel grades, and Jet A is confirmed available on the field. This combination covers both piston and turbine aircraft operating through KSRB. Fuel availability should still be verified ahead of arrival given the airport's unattended hours on certain days. Crews should coordinate fuel needs with the field's attendance schedule to avoid arrival outside stocked hours.
What are the attended hours at KSRB?
Upper Cumberland Regional is attended Monday through Saturday from 0700 to 1900 local, and Sunday from 1000 to 1900 local. KSRB is not towered, so these hours reflect field attendance rather than air traffic control coverage. Outside these windows, services on the field may be limited or unavailable. Dispatchers scheduling early morning or late evening arrivals should plan around this attendance window. CTAF procedures apply for traffic advisories at all times given the lack of a control tower.
Does business aviation traffic at KSRB vary by season?
Yes, KSRB shows a seasonal traffic pattern based on FAA TFMSC data for 2025. Business aviation operations peak in July and August, reaching 161 and 159 operations respectively, compared to lower months like February at 107 and September at 118. This pattern suggests concentrated summer activity relative to the rest of the year. Dispatchers planning summer trips into Upper Cumberland Regional should anticipate higher traffic volumes during this period.
