De-Icing fluid price gouging?

[CLR2LAN]

We paid $1800 for about 6.5 minutes of de-ice there last week. We got the bill and called IAD Landmark. There was no way that they used 110 gallons of Type I in that about of time. We only had about 1/8" of ice on the airplane. I saw them spray and it was on and off at best during that timeframe.

They told me "well, that's what the truck readout was sir."

It's a scam like a Signature "security fee"!

There is a new FBO at IAD. Dulles Jet Center - not sure their prices though. Nice Facilities.

Jet Center...

We use Dulles Jet Center...very good service and nice facility....

The catch is that all aircraft services are provided by Signature...fuel, deice, etc.

But, hangar space is available and if you tanker fuel you don't need to worry about much...

Landing/parking for a C-750 is 185.00..that was our total bill last time we were there....
