July 7, 2026Pretty surprising how GA-friendly they are for an SR20. Atlantic's prices were reasonable. Filing IFR makes getting in and out easier, and keep the airport diagrams close. Expect progressive taxi directions and a hold at every crossing.

August 28, 2025Flew VFR in for the second time in a Cessna Cardinal on 7/28/25 for an overnight at Atlantic Aviation. The controllers at Philadelphia Approach and Tower are spectacular. The sequenced me in easily with the larger jets, though I was asked to maintain my speed up on final to avoid re-sequencing. Be ready to write down taxi directions the moment that your wheels touch the ground and have a taxi diagram handy to help through the complex facility. I expect to come back often.

August 17, 2025Fine facility we're fairly helpful. But when I landed I told them how much fuel I needed. Came back in the morning and still wasn't fueled up. Make certain to call and confirm
