Purpose

Prohibits the calculation, generation or collection of fees from an
aircraft owner or operator based on information that is collected or broadcast
by an automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast system (ADS-B system).

Background

ADS-B is a surveillance technology
that combines an aircraft's positioning source, aircraft avionics and ground
infrastructure to create an accurate surveillance interface between the
aircraft and air traffic control. ADS-B consists of ADS-B Out and ADS-B In
services. ADS-B Out broadcasts information regarding an aircraft's GPS
location, altitude, ground speed and other data to ground stations and other
aircraft once per second. ADS-B In provides operators of properly equipped
aircraft with weather and traffic position information (
U.S. Federal Aviation Administration
).

The Director of the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) may
establish fees for the use of state-owned airports and related facilities,
including: 1) landing and takeoff for commercial aircraft; 2) aircraft tiedown;
3) equipment use; 4) facility use; 5) damages to equipment or facilities; and
6) aircraft servicing. Additionally, the governing body of a city or town or
the county board of supervisors may adopt rules and establish fees or charges
for the use of airport facilities (A.R.S. ��
28-8204

and
28-8419
).

There is no anticipated fiscal impact
to the state General Fund associated with this legislation.
