Anyone have any insight on this?

The way it works here is that you (usually) don't pay any fees if you're
based at that airport. It's only visiting aircraft that pays landing
fees. Light GA doesn't pay any en-route fees at all.



Even IFR?

Even IFR. There are currently no charges if your aircraft has an MTOW of
less than 2000kg (about 4100lbs).

Well, at least there's some silver lining in the UK!!
I have a friend there who tells me he rents a C-172 wet for £200/hr -
that's almost $400!! Please tell me he's confused.

He may well do, I don't know. We pay less than half of that for a
Grumman Cheetah on tach hours (a much more fun plane to fly). It's still
too much though.
