User Fees Likely in FY2013 Budget, Say Bizav Groups

With the Obama Administration doggedly promoting its proposal for a $100-per-flight user fee for millions of flights by turbine-powered general aviation aircraft, GA interests are organizing continued opposition.

“I fully expect that, a few weeks from now when President Obama proposes his initial Fiscal Year 2013 budget, he’ll include a $100-per-flight user fee,” said AOPA president and CEO Craig Fuller. “Needless to say, this proposal must be defeated if general aviation as we know it is to survive in the years to come.”
