Reasonable SS fuel prices. Hangars on the pricey side (for this area), but monthly tie down rates are reasonable. Easy access in and out on South side of Charlotte, complete with prec and non-prec approaches. Most important - super friendly and helpful staff. A+... Whether you are just stopping in, or need a homebase.

We made a self-serve fuel stop on May 18. One of the line guys was happy to assist even though two beautiful Russian jets by the Jet A pumps would have been a logical distraction (they were for me!). Very clean and impressive facility and rest rooms (a rare A+ rating by my better half). A little too aloof at the desk (no friendly greeting, not even a wave). Had planned to stop to refuel on return, but the price jumped from $3.32 to 3.44 next day, so we routed to a more price-effective stop on the 21st.

Nice stop: great facility, very friendly staff. We were greeted warmly and provided a tie-down over the weekend at $20 per day. I used the self-serve fuel before departure and found the fueling area very roomy. I thought the tie-down fee was a little on the high side and found that the fuel price was about 14% higher than my home FBO. Were it not for the convenience to my business there, I am not sure this would have been my first pick of a stop.

Stopped in here for some fuel on a quick turn. Great place. This is one of those hidden little gems you have to remember. Fuel very reasonable. Facilities nice and clean. People super friendly and efficient. Plane was fueled in a few minutes. I'll be back.

Stopped in for the Wings and Warriors event with the SBD Dauntless and RAF Expeditor. Had a great time and even better service for our warbirds (first time I had the fuel truck there just as I was opening the caps!) by staying a bit late to help us with our needs. Looking forward to being back in 2009 and enjoying some more of that great NC BBQ.....

The EQY manager helped me with a rental car issue, it has all been straightened out. The rental car company did well there. The EQY manager, John, did very well there. EQY is a great airport to fly into.

I base my Cessna 182G here. Great airport staff and reasonable fuel prices. Reasonable monthly tie down fees. Friendly to general aviation. No parking fees for transients I believe.

Flew in on a recommendation from a local pilot in Page Land, where we waited out the weather the night before. Great recommendation! Nice facility, crew car available, easy shot into town for food. Friendly people. Reasonable fuel prices.

Monroe Airport management and Line people are the reason I moved my personal plane here from another airport years ago. They are without exception, the best that I have found.

Departed RWY 5 VFR to the S on Mon 042108 1430Z. Ceiling was closing in to the N & NW of the field. E of the field ceiling was well above traffic pattern alt patches of blue to the S. No traffic pattern/approach chatter on the radio. Decision to circle right to the S at rotation was a safety judgment call. Left into IMC/IFR conditions or circle right to the S. I am aware of arvl & dprt procedures @ EQY. After transmitting our intentions at rotation the old EQY line guy keyed up and began schooling me on local procedures. Line guy I appreciate your concern for my safety and others. I did reply back positively only to have you again start schooling me on aviation safety. Hello line guy had you been standing on the ramp and looking up instead of jabbering on the radio you would have seen the last minute choice I made was the right one. We still love you, I'll be back! CLT ATC is looking for a few good men.

I have been based here for the past 12 years. The staff at Monroe is one of the best in the USA. Added benefit: the prices are too cheap! If you have business in Charlotte, this is the place to land and fuel. About 25 minutes to downtown Charlotte. And 10-15 minutes of less taxiing and waiting on the airlines (or worse during push times at CLT). Easy north south departures. ILS and GPS approaches with wide perfect runway and taxiways. Great quick turns.

Monroe, NC airport is the place to land when doing business in the Charlotte, NC area. The FBO's "can do" attitude is second to none. When I ask for help, the answer is always "Yes!" The Manager, John, and his team are first class. And their charges are very competitive.

Great airport with great approaches, runway, terminal. Line crew is cheerful and hard working.

As others have said, a very nice facility with friendly staff. No food; soda and candy in the vending machines, and fresh coffee. Watch out for the unlit chain-link fence near the self-serve gas - it would be fairly easy to miss while lining up with the yellow stripe in front of the pumps if approaching from the right. The left (south) is clear.

Recently, John Brattain, Manager of EQY helped "jump" the car which picked me up and then loaned us his battery jumper cables for the day. Thank you very much for the warm and friendly help and gracious hospitality.

Easy in and out, under the Class B if that bothers you, they have self serve fuel and only $5 overnight. The staff is very friendly too! If you are a single piston VFR type pilot and you want an easy trip to Charlotte, this is the place for you. I have flown to CLT and have nothing bad to say about them, but this is non-towered and without the hassle and the groud delays of a major airport. I'll be back!

What a nice airport! Great facilities, very helpful staff. Hotels require a cab ride or a rental car, but a nice place to stay overnight.

Flew in on 03/02/07. Great, very clean, well maintained FBO. Nice people, Bob welcomes you at the ramp. S/S Fuel looks like brand new and easy to operate. Will come back here!
