Register your plane, $130.00

Process a medical, $42.00 (each time!)

Ouch!!!! Looks like they really want to kill general aviation.

Can't see how an increase in the cost of processing a medical is aimed
at killing GA. Commercial aviation also has to have pilots and those
pilots have to have current medicals.

Now granted the commercials pilots medical fees may be picked up by
his employer. Or at least the commercial pilot could take the fees
as a deduction on his income taxes.

Doesn't a first or second class medical (as needed by a commercial
pilot) cost a lot more than a third?

Yea, but some pilots barly get by as it is. I know a one that has to go in
for a third class 3 times a year due to past mediacl issues he can barly
afford to fly as it is. he is thankfull that he has medial insurance.
