Protects pilot privacy by limiting aircraft tracking data use and requires airports to be open about fees.
This bill would protect the privacy of aircraft owners and pilots by limiting how their flight tracking data can be used for making money without their permission. It would also make public-use airports more transparent about fees charged to general aviation aircraft, ensuring those fees only pay for airside safety projects.
Today, aircraft tracking data (ADS-B) can be used by various groups, potentially for commercial gain without consent. Also, public airports can charge general aviation fees without specific public disclosures or limits on how the money is used. After this bill, using ADS-B data to identify aircraft for revenue without consent would be banned, and limits on this data use would apply to all government officials. Public-use airports would have to publicly share detailed information about their finances and how fees are used, and all fees from general aviation aircraft would only pay for airside safety projects.
