Online Reviews Summary

St. Charles County Regional Airport/Smartt Field (KSET) in St. Charles, US, primarily serves general aviation and flight training, rather than commercial passenger traffic. Traveler sentiment among pilots and FBO users is generally positive, focusing on the quality of aviation services provided. Reviews for traditional passenger experiences like terminal facilities, security, or customs are not available due to the airport's operational focus.

What Travelers Love

Outstanding FBO Services: St. Charles Flying Service consistently receives high praise for its quality service, including full-service fuel, comprehensive aircraft maintenance, and convenience like aircraft pick-up and return for maintenance. They also offer flight training, aircraft rental, and sales.
Competitive Fuel Prices: Pilots often note the reasonable and low prices for fuel, including 24-hour self-serve 100LL.
Pilot-Friendly Facilities: The airport features good runways (18/36 and 09/27) with instrument approaches, and offers hangar space and tie-downs for aircraft. Lights for runways and PAPI are activated via CTAF.
Engaging Aviation Community: The presence of the Commemorative Air Force Missouri Wing, with its hangar and museum (open Thursday and Saturday), adds to the unique atmosphere and offers activities like airplane displays and rides during events.

Common Complaints

Limited Passenger Amenities: There is no restaurant on-site (as noted in older reviews), which may require pilots or visitors to seek dining options off-airport.
Lack of Ground Transportation Information: While FBOs like St. Charles Flying Service offer a crew car for short stays, detailed information on public transportation connections or extensive rental car options for non-pilots is not readily highlighted in reviews.
Heavy Student Training: The airport is known for heavy student training, which pilots should be aware of when operating in the area.
Scarcity of Recent Reviews: Many available public reviews are several years old, making it challenging to gauge the very latest traveler experiences and sentiment.

St. Charles County Regional Airport/Smartt Field (KSET) remains a well-regarded and affordable home for general aviation in the St. Louis metropolitan area, particularly appreciated for its flight services, maintenance, and fuel value. Its primary appeal is to pilots and those engaged in flight training and aircraft ownership.
