GAMA, EAA Join Forces For AirVenture User Fee Forum

Industry Leaders To Weigh In On Hot-Button Issue

User fees are coming to Oshkosh.

Not to worry, though -- it won't cost you anything to land at Wittman Field, nor will controllers handling the heavy influx of traffic ask to verify your credit card information before clearing you to land on the red dot.

Instead, the EAA, GAMA, and several big names in the general aviation community have teamed up to offer a forum on Tuesday, July 25 at 11:30 am CDT to offer a variety of opinions and a wealth of insight into this hot-button issue.

As regular readers of Aero-News know... there is no more contentious issue facing general aviation pilots right now, than the question of user fees -- proposed charges for ATC services such as flight service, and GA use of larger airports.

Attendees at Tuesday's forum will hear these panelists weigh in on the FAA reauthorization/user fee debate -- and address the general aviation community's unified position on this issue

  • Ed Bolen -- President & CEO, National Business Aviation Association
  • Phil Boyer -- President, Aircraft Owners & Pilots Association
  • Pete Bunce -- President & CEO, General Aviation Manufacturers Association
  • Alan Klapmeier -- President & CEO, Cirrus Design Corporation
  • Jack Pelton -- Chairman, President & CEO, Cessna Aircraft Company and Chairman, General Aviation Manufacturers Association

The forum will be moderated by EAA President Tom Poberezny.

As Aero-News reported last month, the latest motion by the FAA and the Air Transport Association to impose user fees seems to be stalled for the moment, due to the long list of questions the GAO had for those entities' proposals.

But the user fee debate WILL be back... and when it fires up once again, GA will be ready.
