President Proposes $100 per flight fee for all flights in controlled airspace and a Passenger Facility Charge set by the DHS Secretary and increased "when necessary"
See page 22 for aviation provisions. Here's the text for the $100 fee for flying in controlled airspace: More equitably share payments for air traffic services. Roughly two-thirds of the air traffic control system’s current costs are financed by aviation excise taxes. Most of the tax revenue is collected from commercial aviation through ticket taxes, segment fees, international head taxes, and fuel taxes.

Sorry. Thought 'more' would let you see the whole fee provision from this screen. Dig into the link and it will bring up the President's Plan pdf. Scroll down to page 22 of the document and you'll see the aviation 'pay fors'.
Wonder where they are going to get their 11 billion from GA, when it's going to cease to exist, only the wealthy are going to fly. Mortals are going to avoid controlled space like the plague.

Yup equilze the incomes here it comes Damcrats left wing sobs at it again. Every time the BAMA opens his mouth the country suffers again tax his mouth take his wifes expensive clothing away from her stop her flying all over the world on vacations would help the budget. Make him stay here.

Britt Hume said it well last night. These people (liberals) would rather "everybody be equally poor than some to be unequally wealthy". Except themselves of course.
What the left wing and many democrats fail to realize is that general aviation is NOT just those big million dollar jets. The only reason i have a 1957 172 is because it costs just as much as a car to buy, and i want to become a commercial pilot. It will be nearly impossible for me to move up through the licenses if i need to pay $100 every time i talk to ATC/ per flight. This could be why many students are turning away or not even bothering with learning to fly.
