All airports charge landing fees. Last week we did a couple of practice ILS
approaches and a landing, the charge was $50. That was after booking a slot
two days earlier.
On that particular day we did 90 minutes flying, the aircraft costs incl
fuel were $160 and the user charges including the low approach and two
landings came to $80.
Not all airports charge landing fees.
I don't know where you're landing (Heathrow??) but the fees you list are much
higher than what I'm used to paying in Europe. I typically pay $7-10 for
landing fees, and I know plenty of airports where you van land VFR for free.
Fuel is another story - over $8/gal for AvGas now, it will be $10 soon.
