Florida Legislature Advances Bill To Ban ADS-B-Based Landing Fees
Florida lawmakers are moving forward with a bill that would prohibit publicly funded airports from using ADS-B data to charge landing fees. The legislation, HB 485, specifically targets third-party companies that track aircraft movements to automatically invoice pilots, a practice that has drawn criticism from the general aviation community. Supported by organizations like AOPA and EAA, the bill argues that these fees are often imposed without transparency or the involvement of local FBOs. Having passed unanimously in the Florida House, the measure now heads to the state Senate for further consideration.
