For clearance delivery, contact Potomac Approach.
Runway lights operate dusk to dawn. REIL for runways 11 and 29, and MIRL for runway 11/29, are pilot-activated via CTAF. PAPI for runway 11 and runway 29 operate continuously.
Rotorcraft should use a right traffic pattern for runway 29. At all other times, use a left traffic pattern.
A noise abatement procedure is in effect; contact the airport manager for details. There is a noise-sensitive residential area south of the airport, so pilots should enter the downwind for runway 29 over the water, south of the field.
Wildlife is present on and in the vicinity of the airport.
Self-serve fuel is available 24 hours a day using a credit card.
The PAPI is unusable beyond 5 degrees left of centerline.
