Raleigh, NC


Recommended Posts

RDU is convenient, about 15 minutes depending where in Cary. It's a pretty easy Class C (but my view may be skewed by having been based at KAPA Denver Centennial fir 20 years) and pretty GA friendly with two GA FBOs, Signature and TAC Air. They are sued by side and, since I'm based elsewhere, don't really have a preference between them. But it's expensive. Even many aircraft based there rarely buy fuel there. 

Another decent Cary option, about a half hour away, is KTTA, Raleigh Executive, in Sanford. Nontowered, easy access to US 1.  It's my current home base with a good staff.

I'd suggest coffee if you have time but I'm going to be in New Orleans next week.

I would say it depends where you are going in Cary.

I am in and out of IGX about every other week. I find IGX very easy and straightforward but there are some "noise" and hour restrictions. $10/night  not waived with fuel purchase. 

Raleigh Exec is good spot to go.  Self serve fuel. GA oriented. 

Raleigh (RDU) is an easy airport and as an airport is GA friendly. Personally though I find the FBOs don't really want the little guy buisness. They want the corporate traffic.
