Fort Meade Executive Airport's 3,000 ft of runway is shorter than most of the 15 jet-capable fields in Maryland, close to sea level, so the published runway figure is close to what an aircraft actually needs here. 1 of the 24 types we broker clear it; the runway rules out 23.

Runway
What can operate here
Compared against the published balanced field length of every type we broker, with roughly 3% added per 1,000 ft of elevation for density altitude.
This is runway length only. Individual airports also restrict by wingspan, noise curfew, slot availability and special approach certification, and performance moves with temperature, weight and the day. Clearing the runway here means an aircraft is worth asking about — the operator confirms it, and signs for it.
