A UNANIMOUS WIN FOR PILOTS

Florida pilots and aircraft owners just received major news for general aviation. Both the Florida House of Representatives and the Florida Senate have unanimously passed legislation that halts the use of ADS-B data for airport landing fee billing. The bill now heads to the desk of Ron DeSantis to be signed into law. This move comes after growing concerns across the aviation community that ADS-B tracking data was being used to automatically bill pilots for airport landings, creating major privacy concerns and financial burdens for general aviation pilots.
