Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcasts; Prohibits airports from using information broadcast or collected by automatic dependent surveillance broadcast systems for specified purposes under certain conditions.
Plain English Summary
AI-GENERATEDFlorida airports can no longer use automatic dependent surveillance broadcast (ADS-B) data, an aircraft's GPS location, altitude, and speed, to calculate or collect landing and departure fees from small aircraft owners and operators.
The ban explicitly covers touch-and-go landings, the repeated landing-and-departure pattern used in flight training, as well as fees based on an aircraft merely entering a specified radius of the airport's airspace.
The protection only applies to smaller aircraft, 12,499 pounds or less, flown under general-aviation rules, so airports remain free to use ADS-B data to charge landing or radius fees to larger and commercial aircraft.
AIAn airport may not rely on information broadcast or collected by ADS-B systems, whether from ADS-B In or ADS-B Out, to calculate or collect a fee for a covered aircraft's departure or landing.
AIThe prohibition on ADS-B-based fees explicitly extends to touch-and-go landings, the repeated landing-and-departure maneuver used in flight training, not just single departures or landings.
AIAirports also may not use ADS-B data to calculate a fee based on a covered aircraft merely entering a specified radius of the airport's airspace, separate from any landing or departure.
AIThis section's protections apply only to aircraft weighing 12,499 pounds or less that operate under the general-aviation rules of 14 C.F.R. part 91, not to larger or commercially operated aircraft.
