Montgomery County Airpark Runway Diagram Print

Montgomery County Airpark (GAI) is a one runway field, and the print keeps that honest. Runway 14/32 measures 4,202 feet by 75 feet on an asphalt surface, and it lands on the sheet as a single dark diagonal running from the upper left corner down to the lower right. The end designators sit in the pavement itself, 14 at the top, 32 at the bottom, both numbers turned to read along the strip.

Around that one line the drawing stays quiet. A parallel taxiway traces the runway in a lighter tone for its full length, connectors loop off it at both ends, and the apron and the ranks of hangars gather toward the 32 end, where a row of narrow rectangles gives the composition its only cluster of detail. The published data lists a magnetic variation of 9W for the field. Down in the corner the title block carries GAI, Gaithersburg, Maryland, the coordinates and ELEV 539 FT.

A single strip on an open ground is a simple piece of geometry, which is what makes it work at wall scale: one confident diagonal, a long stretch of empty margin, and small type holding the bottom right. The line reads from across a room, and the taxiway and hangar shapes reward a closer look. How much the diagonal separates from its background depends on the colorway you choose. The Frederick print can hang beside this one.

Gaithersburg (GAI) print, common questions

How many runways does Montgomery County Airpark have?

One. Runway 14/32 is 4,202 feet long and 75 feet wide, with an asphalt surface, and it is the only runway on the drawing.

How high is the field, and where is it?

The field elevation is 539 feet, printed in the title block as ELEV 539 FT. Montgomery County Airpark is at Gaithersburg, Maryland, and the coordinates 39.1683 N, 77.1660 W appear under the city line.

What do GAI and the numbers 14 and 32 mean?

GAI is the identifier for Montgomery County Airpark, and it is the code set in large type at the bottom of the print. The ICAO code for the same field is KGAI. The numbers 14 and 32 are the two ends of that single runway, which is why they sit at opposite corners of the diagonal.

How accurate is the diagram?

The layout follows the published runway data for GAI, plotted from published airport information: one runway, 14/32, with its parallel taxiway, connectors, apron and hangar rows in their drawn positions. It is still a design made for a wall, so fine details may be simplified or omitted. Pavement markings, lighting and taxiway lettering are the sort of thing that drops out at this scale.

What sizes and finishes can I get?

Sizes run small to large, so the GAI diagonal can work as a narrow bit of wall or as the anchor of a room. The choices are Fine Art Print, Framed Fine Art Print, Glossy Metal Print, and a Digital Download. The physical formats are made to order; the digital option is a file you receive.

Does this make a good gift?

It does for anyone with a tie to Montgomery County Airpark, since the piece names one specific field rather than aviation in general. The identifier, the city and state, the coordinates and the 539 foot elevation are all on the sheet, so the connection is legible without explanation.
