Fort Meade Exec sits in Fort Meade near Odenton, Maryland. Field elevation is 149.5 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 10/28 is 3,000 ft long with asphalt pavement. There is no control tower. Pattern altitude is 850 ft AGL, which is 999.5 ft MSL.
No ILS approaches are published here. For clearance delivery, Potomac Approach is listed in the remarks. The field is close to busy Baltimore and Washington traffic flows. Keep an eye out for arrivals and departures from Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport. Fly the pattern south of the field to stay clear of Baltimore/Washington Class B airspace until you have clearance.
Tipton Airport Authority is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A+ fuel. Twenty-four hour self-serve fuel is available with credit card. Runway 10/28 has runway end identifier lights. Medium intensity runway lights are controlled by CTAF. The PAPI is installed on both ends. On runway 28, the published notes say the PAPI is unusable beyond 5 degrees left of course due to trees and 8 degrees right of course. Deer are also reported on the runways and taxiways, so a careful taxi and takeoff scan matters here.
