San Carlos Airport is about 20 miles south of SF on the peninsula. Cab fare is around $60 to $70 one-way. Or you could arrange a limo service. No landing fees. Jet A and I think $20 a night for tie-down. The Airport Ops number. 650-573-3700. They'll be more than happy to answer any questions between 0700 to 2100 local. Same hours for the tower. Runway length is 2,600ft. �No precision approach.�

[quote]I agree. OAK is the place. Go to Landmark and tell them I sent you. Smile

. � Actually all kidding aside the arrival / approach into oak is the easiest in the Bay Area. ILS as well as RNAV approaches. � 121 operators are on the south side out of the way.

Fog burns off early depending on time of year. I have been commuting into OAK every week for the last few years and have always been able to land.

Landmark is great with fair prices. Norm is the general manager and is a class act. They have a MU2 towbar but sometimes can't find it. They will drop you off and pick you up from the � BART station. (5 mins away)

All round great experience

[quote]For downtown San Francisco and Berkeley, you probably would like Oakland best (KOAK). Easy in/out, good approaches, plenty of runway, and you can get the FBO to drop you off at the BART station to get downtown or to Berkeley. I haven't checked on fuel pricing, and it's been quite a while since I was there, but I don't think it's too bad.
