Freeway Airport sits in Bowie, Maryland. Field elevation is 168.1 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 18/36 is 2,420 ft of asphalt, so plan your performance with that length in mind. There is no control tower. Clearance delivery goes through Potomac Approach at 866-599-3874. The published pattern altitude is 1,000 ft MSL, which is 832 ft AGL for aircraft under 4,000 lb. Aircraft over 4,000 lb use 1,200 ft MSL, which is 1,032 ft AGL.
No ILS approaches are published here. The field uses CTAF 123.075. UNICOM is also 123.075. Freeway Aviation is on the field and carries 100LL. 100LL fuel is available when attended. The runway lighting is pilot-controlled on CTAF for 18/36. PAPI is also available for both ends. One operational item to watch is the closed taxiway runup area for runway 36. There are also close-in obstructions. Runway 18 has a 7-foot road obstruction near the threshold. Runway 36 has trees near the threshold and a 15-to-1 approach slope to the displaced threshold. The airport is unattended on major holidays. For a first-time arrival, the main things are the short runway, the nearby obstructions. This is an uncontrolled field under Potomac airspace procedures.
