McGhee Tyson Airport (TYS / KTYS) serves the Knoxville area from Alcoa, TN. Halcyon quotes the Cirrus Vision Jet here — a single-engine jet that needs 3,192 feet of balanced field and lands in 2,346.
With 9,009 feet available, TYS presents no runway constraint for the Vision Jet in any normal condition, which makes it a dependable field for both planned departures and short-notice trips.
Field elevation is 981 feet, so performance planning here is routine and the aircraft dispatches at full useful load in ordinary conditions.
