AOPA article: Piston pilots pay no user fee, but IFR's pay $25
Can people help decipher the AOPA article about who pays the $25 fee
on per use of the ATC service, "There would be a $25 per flight "Air Traffic Modernization" surcharge imposed on all flights. Piston-engine general aviation aircraft, turboprop aircraft "operating outside of controlled airspace," and military, public service, and air ambulances would be exempt from the user fee." Is this $25 fee paid by all flights including the pistons ? OR is it saying everyone flying outside of Class A,B,C,D,E do not have to pay $25. But once inside one of A,B,C,D,E, turboprop gets $25 bill, while pistons do not get that $25 charge ? Is this an optimistic interpretation, or the text meant something else ? I hope the bill that is getting to be passed is not worded this way. P S |

Even if the interpretation is correct, don't think for a moment that piston-engined aircraft would be permanently exempt. Eventually everyone would pay the fee, and the fee would increase regularly. Your only hope is that the fee will not be implemented in the first place. Once it's there, it can only get worse, never better. I hope the bill that is getting to be passed is not worded this way. Have you written to your representatives and senators in Congress to tell them what you think? Doesn't amtter, you don't fly While I think that some of mx's responses are full of nonsense, you should at least pay attention while you're calling someone else anmes.

"See to it that when you're fighting off the monsters that you don't become one" I am one by definition, fjukkwit. Look up Bunyip. And I'm not fighting anyone, just entertaining myself. Bertie |
