Stopped to pick up friend who dropped off a car at hospital. Was not greeted by anyone until engine off and getting out of plane. No idea that I would be charged for a ramp fee when no one was even around. As I walked out of lobby the attendant said I need to pay or get fuel. I was shocked because I was only there for 10mins. So I had to pay for 13 gallons for my 182 when I didn't require any fuel. This is not Aspen or Vail. It's Rifle. Never will I stop there again. -- Adan A.

Like other reviewers stated, exercise much caution. Dropped off safety pilot for free, when we collected him again a few days later, we were billed $450 for 35mins stop - KingAir 90. Waiving this with top off was refused because I could only fit 90gal not the necessary 100. Was advised if you park further west on county ramp and exit thru the metal gate without entering FBO, there is no charge. Asked how can I then return the rental car when the counter is in FBO? No reply to this except you must pay.

Be VERY cautious of Atlantic Aviation in Rifle, CO (KRIL). Wife and I flew our Meridian on a longer cross country today but decided to use the washroom here and possibly grab some dinner. We were there for about 20 mins before we found out we had to make an unplanned and unexpected return back home. In total, we were parked on their ramp for about 45 mins to 60 mins… this included preflight and filing IFR time. No fuel as we were headed back to our home airport. I was shocked when I was charged $322.00. This, by the way, included a “landing fee discount.” What makes up the $322? Well, they charge a $265.00 facilities use fee and some other fees. It was extravagant. And all we did was use the washroom. I spoke to their desk manager who escalated to the GM. Essentially, there was no reprieve other than to knock off about $50 from the total bill. This was the most costly washroom my wife and I have ever used in our lives. Be forewarned.
