Tennessee Airports

The following airports in Tennessee provide commercial passenger and/or general aviation services:

Time Zones: All of the airports listed above (except Jackson, Memphis and Nashville) are in the North American Eastern Time Zone. Eastern Standard Time (EST) is five hours behind Greenwich Mean Time/Universal Coordinated Time (GMT/UTC). The Eastern Time Zone includes Boston, New York, Washington (DC), Atlanta and Miami.   Beginning in 2007, clocks will be advanced at 2:00 am on the second Sunday of March to go on Eastern Daylight Saving Time (EDT) which is four hours behind GMT/UTC. Clocks return to standard time on the first Sunday of November.  Jackson, Memphis and Nashville are in the Central Time Zone which is one hour behind Eastern Time.

The web site maintained by National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the U. S. Naval Observatory (USNO) displays the official times for zones in North America and American Territories.  This site also provides information about these times zones and others around the world.  The National Atlas has a very good map showing time zones in the United States. 

Road Conditions:  To check road conditions in Tennessee visit the Department of Transportation web site, especially from late fall through the winter and into early spring.

Weather:  For weather conditions and forecasts for these airports and other parts of the United States refer to the web site published by the National Weather Service.  

Maps:  The National Geographic web site and its Map Machine have excellent maps for this state and other locations around the world.  The Perry-Castañeda Library Map Collection at the University of Texas has on-line maps for this and other states.  The National Atlas has useful maps showing states, counties, geographical features and other interesting data for the United States and Puerto Rico.  The best options are for "Printable Maps" (use PDF format) and "Dynamic Maps."   The U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration has a useful map showing major highways in the state.
