Over here where they DO have user fees for ATC services, light-GA is
excluded.

I wonder if that is also true in Canada and Australia, and other
fee-based ATC countries.


In most of Europe, even "light GA" has to pay user fees if an IFR flight
plan is filed and flown. No fees for VFR and information services. Many
(by no means all) airfields have landing fees. In France, these tend to
be in the 8 - 12 EUR range for a 182 (2 Ton) aircraft. In Italy they can
be ridiculously low (I have seen fees of under a dollar - though
admittedly not recently - they are trying to bring them in line with
other countries). Add $10 to the total cost of your trip, and is that
really going to make you cancel out and sell your plane?
