you need to call the fbo you are planning on staying at and confirm a spot for the night, it is usually around $8 a night for a tiedown spot. you do not need to inform the tower you are staying over night, simply state full stop and then clear of the active request taxi to ramp and that is it. not to mention it depends on exactly what type of airport you are flying too and at what time of day, usually the towers at class d airports are closed after 12pm and the airport becomes class e for the remainder of the night.What are the procedures for parking a single engine airplane overnight at an airport with a control tower?
You do not need to tell the tower that you are staying overnight, though you need to pay landing fees and parking fees for the night (these don't cost very much: around $10 all together roughly depending on the airport). Just say to the tower ';(airport) tower, (aircraft registration), requesting clearance to land on (runway)'; then request to taxi and park once landing is complete. Airport authorities or club will then sort you out for parking and ect. The only thing ATC needs to know is what you are intending and requesting to do.
Use tiedowns. Not all airports charge to land and/or park. Where I live we have a tower controlled airport with two FBO's and there are no such fees.
