Hi, this may seem like a silly question, but how do FBOs work and what do they do??
I'm going to Florida to do some hour building in February and I've never flown in the US apart from an hours flight with an instructor. All my flying has been done here in Ireland where if you fly to an airfield other than your home field you just find a spot to park and away you go. I'm just unsure as to the way things are done in the states. Can someone who flies in the states give me a brief overview on what the FBO does and how to use them. What if I don't need fuel and I'm just making a quick stop for a bite to eat, can I just abandon the plane and head into the restaurant or is it a requirement to use the FBO? What are the average parking charges around Florida?
Thanks for your help
