Here is another attack on GA by the California Legislature to impose fees that will severely impact the GA community.

A bill before the legislature would impose onerous paperwork requirements and fees on independent flight instructors and small operations like nonprofit Aero Clubs and small FBO’s that are barely surviving as it is. Read about it on the EAA website here:

This is a number one priority for California.
We need our independent flight instructors and small FBO’s at the smaller GA airports
This will drive them out of business

Government leaders are not doing enough to protect airports and make them available for GA without really high fees for landing, ramp, transient parking, and home base hangar/parking. GA is being excluded from some airports due to high cost of parking or hangaring the airplane and high cost to buy gasoline to stay in the Transient parking area.

If there are no affordable places to land or keep my airplane it will not make any difference.
This is the number one issue. No affordable airports no GA.

It does not matter what the government does to regulate GA if we don’t have any avgas after 2015!!!

This is now the number one issue. No avgas, no GA.
