Russian term or phrase: "квартирование"
Мы у себя в Мячково решили поддержать стремление многих наших граждан подняться в небо в кабине пилота самолета. Ввели щадящие, вполне разумные тарифы на “квартирование”. В Мячково один за другим потянулись самолеты и вертолетыWe decided to back up many our citizens, who aspire to rise into the sky in pilot cockpit. We set sparing and quite reasonable rates for

Explanation:
that does not sound like a translation, I suggest the following:

We at Myachkovo support many of our people's dream of becoming pilots. Our parking rates are affordable and quite reasonable. And one by one you now see plane and helicopter [pilots/owners coming to take advantage of this].

I'd really be careful about translating "граждане" since the direct translation "citizen" produces an almost comical/quasi-Cold war tone to the text. Picture Soviet movies from the 50s. While the contemporary connotation in modern Russian is a certain formality, the English should use words like "people, nationals, etc."

If you want to translate "подняться в небо в кабине пилота самолета" with a fluorish, you could say: "...dream of aiming for the skies in a cockpit".

agree  Yuri Geifman: berthing is more applicable to boats, I think... parking sounds fine

Что, теперь решили поиздеваться над английским языком? :-)


Explanation:
Если уж писать, тогда надо:

"We decided to back up many OF our citizens (запятую убрать) who aspire to rise into the sky in (pilot убрать) A cockpit. We set sparing and quite reasonable rates for"

Если писать "cockpit", это уже означает, что пилот.
