Hey everyone! First post here, and my first full day as a private pilot. B)
Yesterday I passed my checkride, and while I'm still career oriented, I of course want to share the wonderful experience of flying with my friends and family in the mean time.
I'm looking into some really cool places to visit in my state, and I'm finding the task of figuring out tying down, fees, and services a bit daunting. My cross country flight training mainly consisted of stop and goes, or touch and goes at my destination fields...without getting much experience with ramp operations at unfamiliar airports. Normally I'd give the FBO a call, and communicate via UNICOM as I arrived...but I was considering visiting a non towered field without any FBOs.
I know I could always give the airport a call, but would there be any other way a pilot would know where...or who to pay tie down fees to, or where to politely tie down at?
