Following a very quick review of the document, it seems to suggest a de minimis rule that would exclude aircraft under 5.7 tonnes from the new tax.

By my reckoning, this should mean that private flyers are pretty much exempt - 5.7 tonnes is about 12,500 lb which is the weight of a 15 seat king air ...

However, the de minimis weight is open for suggestion, so could change.
