ST MARY'S COUNTY RGNL is in Leonardtown, Maryland. The field elevation is 141.6 ft MSL. It has one runway, 11/29, which is 5,350 ft long. There is no control tower. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless local procedures say otherwise.

No ILS approaches are published here. The airport sits near Patuxent River traffic, so expect military activity in the area. Published remarks note military aircraft may overfly the field on instrument approaches to Patuxent River NAS at 1,600 ft MSL. When Patuxent runway 14 is in use, traffic at 2W6 crosses the approach path at or below 1,000 ft MSL or above 3,000 ft MSL. Restricted area R-4007 also affects operations. VFR flight in the area may be limited to 1.5 NM of the airport, at or below 1,500 ft MSL and above 700 ft AGL when that restricted area is active. Runway 29 markings are faded. Runway 29 also has a 15 ft depression and a downslope near the threshold.

RCS Services is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. Self-serve 100LL is available with credit card. Runway lights and REIL on 11 and 29 are activated through CTAF. PAPI on both ends operates continuously. First-time pilots should brief the Patuxent frequencies before arrival. Stay alert for military helicopters in the vicinity.
