What an annual....
this has got to be it. Both props off for overhaul, it's time, now I am
looking at two new props with deice boots, 15k times two. can get some new blades and use the old hubs but I am thinking it's best just to be rid of them. I thought this annual would hurt when I got three new gear actuators rather than overhauled. Last year it was a new, rather than repaired, engine mount. What a hobby! |

There will be very little public sympathy because of the general belief that people who own and/or fly GA aircraft are super rich and paying $30 for a weather briefing or $50 to fly an ILS is nothing to them. While it may be true for a part of the group, the pilots flying the simpler aircraft (and in this group I include any pilot that needs to watch their flying budget closely) will really be the ones that are affected by the user-fees and change the way they fly--even give it up altogether. Times like these make me appreciate the existence of AOPA. Marco |

In the words of a recent U.S. president that we'll call, um, "randy",
ah share yer pain. My nose gear had to come off because some line guy turned it to far with the tug. The engine frame went sproiing when they did that, which revealed a bent frame, now sent off to be rebuilt. Then the drag brace turned out to be warped, $1500 for a new one from Piper. I retired last year but may need to go back to work just to support the plane. |

"Paul Tomblin" wrote in message ... Which part of "$50/year" are you having trouble understanding? Where are you getting $50/year. From the post that the person I was responding to was responding to. I confess I didn't verify his figure, and now that I've looked at the FAA site I see it's wrong. I read $0.70/gallon additional tax. $50/year means I can only fly seven yours a year. Read it again. That's 70 cents per gallon TOTAL, not additional. Sec 901. Modifications to Tax on Aviation Fuel. Subsection (a)(1) sets the tax rate for aviation gasoline to be 70.0 cents per gallon starting on the transition date. What is is now, about 20 cents? So yeah, it will be more expensive than it has been. What isn't? There is certainly nothing in there about this "$30 per weather briefing and $50 per ILS" bull****. On the contrary, it says Sec. 201. Fees. ... "General avaition aircraft will continue to pay a fuel tax and will not be subject ot a fee for services, except if the operation is through terminal airpace for a large hub airport, in which case the operation may be subject to the fee established for services provided in such airspace." http://www.faa.gov/regulations_polic...l_Analysis.pdf -- Paul Tomblin http://blog.xcski.com/ I would like to shake the hand of the man who first decided that e-mail clients should run arbitrary programs.

Although what you quoted was what has been proposed, no one really knows what the real fee is going to be, if at all. I simply pulled that bogus figure out of my rear because I recall reading something like that was in place for light aircraft up in Canada now. I could be wrong there, too, but my intent was not to focus on user fees; rather it was to make light of the OP's major annual expense. -- Peter |

I fully realize that there is nothing in the current FAA proposal with these fees. If you must know, I am referring to the potential as described by AOPA where they used a sample set of various fees from a user-fee- based European system. A bit dramatic? Maybe. Bull****? Maybe not but we shall see. Marco |
