You'll typically have more problems with the airport itself rather than from
ATC. Some large airports charge hefty landing and ramp fees, so you may
wind up with a $150 or so charge you hadn't expected. This is how they
discourage the little guys from landing.

How do they organize the payment? Are they waiting for you on the ramp, or do
you have to go to an office or something to pay up? Do you pay on arrival or
before you leave again? How do you find out the charges in advance? (I don't
recall seeing them in the directory or even on Airnav.)

As far as ATC goes, most controllers will work you in just like any other
plane, although usually they prefer the little guys to fly into big airports
VFR on VMC days. That just gives them more options. They can bring you in
lower and put you on a short base to final turn rather than trying to stack
up bigger and faster aircraft behind you. So if you really want to ****
them off, fly a C150 upwind IFR into the class Bravo for the primary airport
during busy traffic times and see if you can hear the a$$holes pucker on
their side of the mic.

Interesting. I would have guessed that ATC would prefer that everyone be IFR,
just to give them more precise control over the traffic.
