Situated on the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay region, Crownsville is part of the greater Annapolis-Washington suburban area.

Chesapeake Bay and Mid-Atlantic Corridor Flying
Crownsville's Anne Arundel County location places pilots within one of the most historically significant and scenically beautiful flying regions in the eastern United States. The Chesapeake Bay — 200 miles of tidal estuary with thousands of miles of shoreline — creates extraordinary coastal flying scenery. The South and Severn Rivers, the Annapolis waterfront with its harbor full of sailboats, and the Bay Bridge are iconic visual landmarks from the pattern at Lee Airport. The Washington D.C. SFRA (Special Flight Rules Area) lies about 20 miles west, requiring special pilot certification and transponder equipment.
The Anne Arundel County aviation community reflects the area's mix of Naval Academy connections, federal government professionals, and Chesapeake Bay lifestyle. The US Naval Academy in Annapolis maintains its own aviation traditions, and many area residents use aircraft for commuting across the congested Baltimore-Washington metro, accessing the Eastern Shore of Maryland, or escaping to mountain fly-in destinations in the Virginia and West Virginia Appalachians. The Bay's numerous small airports and private strips on Maryland's Eastern Shore make aerial island-hopping a local tradition.
