Bill > S0422

This bill creates a new section in Florida Statutes to define "Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast" (ADS-B), an advanced aviation technology that uses an aircraft's positioning and avionics to communicate its location, altitude, speed, and other data to air traffic control and other aircraft, and also defines "touch-and-go landing" as a landing and immediate takeoff without stopping. The bill prohibits airports from using information gathered by ADS-B systems, whether from ADS-B In (receiving information) or ADS-B Out (broadcasting information), to calculate, generate, or collect fees from aircraft owners or operators under specific conditions, including when the fee would be for a departure or landing, such as a touch-and-go landing, or when the fee is based on an aircraft entering a certain airspace radius around the airport, and this prohibition applies to aircraft weighing 12,499 pounds or less operating under specific federal regulations.
