In this episode of Runway Life, hosts Craig and Caitlyn sit down with Stacey Heaton, southern manager for the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA), to discuss the rising issue of landing fees and how ADS-B technology is being used to track aircraft movements and charge pilots at Florida airports. These fees, once reserved for commercial hubs, are now increasingly appearing at smaller general aviation airports, creating unexpected costs for pilots.
Stacey explains how airports and third-party companies are weaponizing ADS-B data to automatically track aircraft landings and issue bills—without pilots even using airport services. This concerning trend, as highlighted in a recent AOPA article, raises important questions about pilot privacy and the fairness of these fees.
The episode covers how ADS-B was originally designed to improve aviation safety, but now it’s being used to track and charge pilots. Stacey discusses the AOPA’s advocacy efforts to protect pilots from these unjust practices and outlines potential legislative actions to limit how ADS-B data is used.
Additionally, Stacey delves into what general aviation pilots can do to protect themselves—whether it’s staying informed, or participating in advocacy efforts with AOPA. Pilots are encouraged to voice concerns about the rising fees and ensure their local airports are transparent about their policies.
Key Takeaways:
• Why landing fees are on the rise in Florida and nationally.
• How ADS-B data is being used.
• What AOPA is doing to fight these trends and protect pilot privacy.
• How pilots can take action to avoid unexpected fees and support AOPA’s efforts.
This conversation is crucial for anyone in aviation, whether you’re flying small GA aircraft or working in the aviation industry. Don’t miss this insightful discussion with Stacey Heaton!
