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 |
