PIER 7 is in Baltimore, Maryland. Field elevation is 16 ft MSL. This is a heliport-type field with no listed runways. No control tower is published. CTAF is 123.025. No ILS approaches are published. The published pattern altitude is not listed, so use the current FAA Chart Supplement before you go. For light piston traffic, a standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern is often used when no published altitude exists. Verify the current procedure before flight.

This field is listed for VFR use only. Published remarks call for ingress and egress at 090 degrees and 270 degrees in the marked area. Clearance delivery is handled through Potomac Approach at 866-429-5882. The remarks also note fading and chipping pier markings on H1 with minimal glass beads. Perimeter lighting is pilot-controlled on 123.05. Click the microphone seven times to activate it.

No on-field FBOs are listed. Check with the airport operator directly or call the field on CTAF for current on-field services before arrival. For a first-time pilot, the main things to plan for are the VFR-only setup, the marked ingress and egress and the lighting activation method if you expect to arrive after dark.
