Harford County Airport sits in Churchville, Maryland. Field elevation is 411.6 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 01/19 is 3,354 ft of asphalt, so it is the main runway to plan around. There is no control tower. Potomac Approach handles clearance delivery and approach services. The published frequencies include CTAF and UNICOM on 122.8, plus Potomac on 125.525 and 291.625.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. The beacon operates from dusk to 0100. Runway end identifier lights are available on 01 and 19. PAPI is also available on both ends. Medium intensity runway lights are on 01/19 and are controlled by the common traffic advisory frequency.
Harford Air Services is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Wildlife is a real factor here. Birds are published in the area. Powered parachute and glider operations also occur on the airport, so keep your scan wide in the pattern and on final. If you are new to the field, get current notes from the FAA Chart Supplement before you go.
