Heliport Atlas

HeliportsinNashville

The FAA records 17 operational heliports and helipads within 35 miles of Nashville. Not one of them is designated public use, so every arrival is by the owner's permission. A charter operator arranges that permission while planning the flight, which is why the owner contact on a record matters more than the pad does.

What is actually here

  • 11 Hospital / medical
  • 3 Corporate / private
  • 2 Government / public safety
  • 1 Airport-based

They sit across Nashville (9), Dickson (2), Columbia (1), Franklin (1), Gallatin (1), Lyles (1), and other communities in the metro.

Heliports only. Airports are a separate class of facility and are not counted here, and a charter into Nashville may well work from one.

Every heliport within 35 miles of Nashville

Distance is measured from the middle of Nashville, so the top of this list is what sits closest to town. Pad size is the landing area, not the property. Open any record on the map for surface, lighting, elevation, inspection date, and the owner contact that gets you permission.

Common questions

How many heliports are in Nashville?

The FAA records 17 operational heliports and helipads within 35 miles of Nashville. Of those, 11 are hospital or medical pads and 3 are corporate or private sites.

Are there public-use heliports in Nashville?

No. Every one of the 17 heliports in the Nashville area is private use, which means landing starts with permission from the owner or manager. A charter operator arranges that as part of planning the flight. The public-use designation is rare everywhere: only 56 heliports carry it nationally.

Does this include Nashville airports?

No. Airports are a separate class of facility, and a charter flight into Nashville may well use one: helicopters operate from airport ramps and FBOs as a matter of routine. This list covers heliports and helipads, the sites the FAA registers specifically for helicopter operations.
