Evading landing fees via a contrivance in an organisations' internal rules just doesn't pass the 'pub' test on fairness. If RAAus aircraft owners don't want to pay their way - the solution is simple: just don't land anywhere that charges landing fees. Many airports have an 'annual' fee which covers unlimited operations, eg, in our case it is around $190 pa, or, you cough up $11/day. My RAAus flying school aircraft attracts an annual fee of about $700, which hurts a bit, but in the scheme of things, seems fair. As an organisation, RAAus will enter the grown-up ranks with this decision: arguing about constitutions and rules is mere semantics. And if you think the deal with AAA is all 'one-way' then standby. happy days,
