No, but I suspect they will model it on the European way:
- airports will have their FAA funding cut, and will charge landing fees
to make up the shortfall
- enroute charges from ATC
- charges per approach
- increased fuel tax
- increased fees for interacting with the FAA: for example, pilots will
have to pay a higher fee ($100s) for pilot certificates instead of the
two or three bucks it is now. Aircraft owners will have to file
paperwork for the annual inspection with the FAA - and will be charged
a fee of $200 for doing so.

Which will work just about as well as the luxury tax on yachts attempted
here awhile ago.


Of course, this is speculation, but I get the feeling the FAA will just
look east to see how European countries treat GA.

Is GA a big source of funds for European countries?

How big a source relative to the airlines?

Thanks
