Davis Airport (W50) sits in Laytonsville, Maryland. The field elevation is 609 ft MSL. It has one runway, 08/26, which is 2,600 ft long and paved asphalt. The airport is non-towered. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8, though the UNICOM is unmonitored.
Pattern altitude is 800 ft AGL, which is 1,409 ft MSL. No ILS approaches are published here, so plan with that in mind if the weather is marginal. The airport is closed from dusk to dawn. Touch-and-go operations are not authorized. For clearance delivery, contact Potomac Approach at 866-429-5882.
Davis Airport is a small field with one on-field FBO, Davis Airport. Fuel grades are not reported in the facts, so call ahead at (301) 253-2897 if you need current fuel details. Published remarks also note birds and wildlife on and near the airport. There is a pond about 80 feet right of the threshold for runway 26, so give that end extra attention on arrival and departure. The field was established prior to 1959. For current operational details, check the current FAA Chart Supplement or call the airport operator directly before you go.
