AOPA ACTION

'A win-win' for GA
AOPA leading efforts for FBO pricing transparency
For almost two years, AOPA has been
investigating and working with local
leaders to understand and fight the effect
of egregious and often opaque FBO fees
on airport accessibility. Five other major
aviation associations joined AOPA to
jointly release "Know Before You Go" best
business practices, a set of recommended
communications practices to enhance
fixed-base operation transparency,
including publishing an online list of
prices, fees, and charges that pilots may
face when landing at an airport.
The joint release calls on FBOs to
"move expeditiously to implement these
practices," and recognizes that certain
providers face unique implementation
challenges and may need time to communicate their prices and fees online.
"AOPA's efforts toward fairness and
transparency will lead to informed decisions for pilots, drive competition, and
increase flying-a win-win for general aviation," said AOPA President Mark Baker.
"This is a major step in our work to ensure

reasonable airport accessibility, and we
hope that this sends a unified message
that FBOs need to be able to accurately
tell all aviators what costs to expect before
arriving at publicly funded airports. We
believe that the united support of these
principles both validates that there is an
issue with pricing transparency and provides a reasonable path to meet customer
expectations."
The joint release was issued by
AOPA, the Experimental Aircraft
Association, the General Aviation
Manufacturers Association, Helicopter
Association International, the National
Air Transportation Association-which
represents the FBO industry-and the
National Business Aviation Association.
AOPA staff is working directly with FBOs
that request assistance in developing
technology solutions for posting fees,
and AOPA is offering to communicate
the fees through the association's online
airport directory.

BAKER ON THE NEWS

"This is about the fundamental rights of
pilots-whether they fly piston or turbine airplanes-to know what the fees
and charges are before they get to the
airport."
-AOPA President Mark Baker

ACTION IN THE STATES
AOPA CONCERNED ABOUT NEW JERSEY AIRPORT
AOPA urged city officials in Linden, New Jersey, to act on the FAA's
call to correct multiple violations of Airport Improvement Program
grant contracts at Linden Airport. In 2017 the FAA inspected the
airport-a New York City-area facility for light GA aircraft where
many AOPA members and a flying club base aircraft-and pointed
out conditions that violate the terms under which the city accepted
federal AIP funds. Working in conjunction with the Friends of
Linden Airport, AOPA recommended that the city make it a priority to restore the airport's FAA compliance, plan and support future
capital projects, "and create a culture of accountability," said AOPA
Manager of Airport Policy Adam Williams.

AOPA SUPPORTING EFFORTS
IN NEW YORK
AOPA is urging the town of East Hampton, New York, to
complete a taxiway-extension project at the East Hampton
Airport, reversing a town board decision to abandon the safetyenhancement project. The $2.1-million effort to extend a
parallel taxiway 800 feet so it would span the length of the
airport's main runway has been funded through a bond authorization, and would add efficiency to airport operations, AOPA
said in a letter to the town supervisor. AOPA has more than
11,000 members in New York.
