Florida bans airports from using ADS-B data to bill small aircraft

2 months ago by 0xebfe to c/aviation

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a law barring airports from using ADS-B data to calculate or collect fees from light general aviation aircraft operators.

The measure applies to aircraft with a gross weight of 12,499 pounds or less operating under Part 91. It prohibits airports from using ADS-B information to calculate, generate or collect fees tied to landings, including touch-and-go operations, or fees based on an aircraft entering a specified radius of airport airspace.

Yeah, it's probably not a great idea to incentivize turning off a working transponder.

Definitely. There's other ways to collect that info for billing purposes that doesn't make people want to disable a safety mechanism. Like just looking at the tail number or somethin
