RWY 34

Cambridge-Dorchester Rgnl sits in Cambridge, Maryland. The field elevation is 19.6 ft MSL. It has one runway, 16/34, which is 4,477 ft long. There is no control tower. No ILS approaches are published here. The pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.

The on-field FBO is Cambridge-Dorchester Airport. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Call the FBO directly at (410) 228-4571 before arrival if you need current ramp or fuel status. Published remarks note runway end identifier lights, PAPI and medium intensity runway lighting on 16/34. The lighting frequency is 121.9. Patuxent Approach handles clearances. If Patuxent is closed, contact Potomac Approach. Birds and wildlife are reported on and near the airport. Keep a sharp scan on arrival and departure.

For a first-time visit, the main things to plan for are the low field elevation, the single asphalt runway and the lack of published ILS support. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any temporary changes. Verify local procedures with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before you go.
