    Default User Fee Petition - White House Website Link

    This may be of interest to those opposed to the push for a $100 per segment user fee. There is already a taxation system in place for GA, this is just the first step increating an entirely new user fee system like Canada has. It may not affect us piston pilots now but this first move is letting the camel’s nose under the tent. The next step will be fees for everything in order to justify the bureaucracy being set up to administer it.

    In the interest of transparency and in order to maintain a healthy aviation industry, we request that the White House explain how it calculated that a $100 per flight segment user fee is a fair contribution to fund FAA.
    We further request an explanation of how the White House determined that the most effective method of collecting this user fee should be through a new, yet-to-be-developed taxing system, rather than the successful aviation fuel tax currently in place.

    Did the latest FAA authorization legislation contain user fees? If so, what are they? Where is the language in the bill?
