**STAY AWAY** what a mismanaged FBO. We bought 250 gallons of Jet A. Never Again! A great runway and taxiway and the service ends there. Airport is 6 miles from anywhere. No Crew Car, No Ice, No Coffee, and No computer with Internet. Pilot Lounge has 2 chairs and is hotter than the rest of the building and smells like they don't take out the trash. I watched a guy in a 182 land and tie down by himself only to have the mechanic/line guy ask him to move it because the spot was the flight school spot. When the 182 guy departed the spot he moved from was still empty. The staff could really care less that you are there. Had to rent a car to go get lunch I asked how much is the car-she says $30 a day. I say OK now I am billed $100 for 11 miles in a KIA. That was our last visit to Horizon Air in Chesapeake. If you have to go there carry as much fuel in as you can. Landmark Aviation at Norfolk at least has service to offer. Too bad--we could have given you a lot of business over the next 2 years.

I stayed in the area overnight and the staff was very professional and friendly. The charge for the overnight tie down was waived because I refueled. While I was registering and signing the car rental paperwork, the car was in front of the terminal idle and the air conditioner was cooling the interior of the car. I would definitely return when I get a chance. The people with negative comments should give more details of their experience. And remember, just because there is no tower it doesn't mean you can taxi into position with an airplane on short final. I saw a Skylane do this to a female instructor and her student this past Thursday. Some visitors can be unfriendly too.

Nice Airport, friendly staff. Quick service. Stuck on the ground for 6 hours due to numerous weather cells springing up. But the immaculate pilot lounge and sleep room were put to good use!

This is the worst managed FBO this professional pilot has ever had the unfortunate experience of working with and I see over 100 airports a year. Steer clear.

Stopped at KCPK for the weekend. The staff was very friendly and attentive. Fuel prices are reasonable for this day and age. I would certainly recommend Chesapeake!

We flew into Chesapeake on July 18 2008. I called Horizon Aviation ahead, since our arrival was 12:30 in the morning. They gave us the gate code and pre-registered us so we wouldn't have to call them out. Compared to our fuel prices in Melbourne, FL, Horizon was quite affordable with $5.49 SS and $5.99 FS. However, even with a fuel purchase of 80 gallons (about $450), Horizon refused to waive the $5 overnight fee for even one of our two nights, so I opted for the cheaper SS. Also, they were renovating the main building, so the only open building was the little flight school building. On our departure, the staff seemed friendly but not necessarily interested in our well being. Overall though it wasn't too bad, and I will go back there.

Stopped in at KCPK for the first time for a fuel stop. Staff was attentive and helpful despite large crowds viewing a B-17 on display. Self-Serve reasonably priced. Will be back.

Reasonable place for GA pilots to fly. Easy access, and easy rental car, but no courtesy car. $5 a night parking fee for single engine Cessna which is not expensive, but considering this field is publicly owned and publicly operated, just like my home base EQY (Charlotte-Monroe Executive Airport) - very similar field - where transients are charged NO parking fee. Staff was friendly and did help jump a dead battery using the APU.

Friendly customer service, efficient. Line personnel greeted us immediately and our charter customers were treated very well. Crew car provided at no charge. Flight planning services in flight school. Runways, ramp and taxiways very good condition. Airport Manager on site for Chesapeake Airport Authority was very willing to explain future expansion plans and funding is already secured. We had several small maintenance issues that were immediately resolved at reasonable prices. Wireless Internet very accessible.

Saturday, October 13, 2007 Very friendly and attentive service. Customer service arranged for a Hertz rental, we were a walk in. Line personnel were very professional and courteous. Lobby clean, even had homemade cookies and great Krispy Kreme donuts for customers. Restrooms clean. Fuel prices were competitive, lower than others in the area. They now have a new public access computer available for flight planning in a quiet part of the Horizon Flight School building, easily accessible. Nice set up for planning, wide variety of charts and the personnel in the school were very helpful with area advice and local attractions.

Great service! Car rental via Hertz was very simple. You can reserve through Hertz at (757) 424-8034 (would be helpful if this number was on the Horizon web site) or through Horizon directly. Horizon had cars available on site, and check you in/out right at the Horizon desk. Bring a map or Mapquest directions as the airport is out in the middle of nowhere with few signs and lots of recent road construction rendering old maps useless. Self-service fueling was reasonably priced and user-friendly with 24-hour availability. Well-stocked shelves for pubs and GA equipment. No public web access for electronic flight planning but good weather info computer. Nice little "pilots lounge" behind the office. Thanks!

Great gas stop while traveling up the east coast. Great runway and facilities, great price. Remember to go to the left side of the FBO when you walk in. There is a private lounge for pilots and restroom, so you don't have to wait in line for the public one, and the weather computers are on that side too.

I've flown in a couple of times in the last few weeks. The runway/taxiways/tie downs are in very good shape. Self-serve pump #1 is inoperative. The attendant, Brad, said it was marked on the credit card reader, but I missed it. The pump might be a better place to mark it. Anyway, it is not an issue as long as you are aware of it. They have another 100LL pump at the same location. Rental cars are very reasonable for an FBO. The $5 a night parking fee is not waived with fuel purchase. However, the alternative is $15/night + landing fee at ORF.

Flew into CPK for the weekend of July 6, 2007. My experience here was great! Staff was wonderful and very helpful. They had hangar space. Great alternative to ORF because of the costs. It's about a 30 min drive from VA Beach but well worth the savings! I would recommend Horizon!

As an update to my earlier post, Horizon's owner called me and asked about my experience -- not in response to my post, but because he saw that the FBO failed to fuel my plane. He was genuinely interested in addressing any problems, and I was impressed with his willingness to talk to me directly at his own initiative. My sense is that he heard me out, is committed to taking a hard look at any problems and making changes. With senior management on the case, I think Horizon is worth a second chance.

Upon landing, I was directed to the far end of the ramp without any line man. It took time to figure out where they wanted me. I requested fuel, but the driver of the fuel truck was joy riding around the airport and didn't seem to want to be bothered. I tied down the plane myself (which is OK), while the ramp guy skate boarded around the airport and the fuel truck kept going round and round without stopping. As I carried four pieces of luggage and tried to find Horizon (no sign), the fuel truck passed me several times without the least interest in helping. I finally found Horizon, filled out a ticket for fuel, picked up my rental car, and returned two days later. No fuel -- but the fuel truck was still driving around the ramp in seeming circles. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any good alternative in the Norfolk/Virginia Beach area. If I ran my companies like this, I'd be out of business.

I had a pop-up Learjet trip to Chesapeake Va. And called at 5:00 PM for an arrival at 8:00 AM. Horizon had no problem setting up a rental car. The fuel price was excellent, we chose self-serv and saved another $.50 per gallon. The facility was comfortable and clean and the wireless internet was a little slow but worked fine. They have WSI weather and the manager, Bryan Steigerwald made every effort to make us feel welcome. This FBO is not plush but an all day layover was not a chore. I will be back.
