Dick,
Sorry if you didn't understand, what I said was that there is not a 'sneaky plan' to start charging GA aircraft just because you 'paint' on our screens.

As I said if you don't have a flight plan in the TAAATS system ( a Flight Data Record, FDR) you can't be hit with navcharges.

These are the two points I think you refer to.

5. Any GA aircraft with ADS-B Out will not have to pay navcharges if they are not in the 'system' as a flightplan (TAAATS call them Flight Data Records, FDRs), ATC will be able to see these 'blips' in range of an ADS-B ground station, and give traffic to aircraft who are in the system.

6. There is no sneaky plan to make GA come into the system so they can start to get charged, it would overwhelm the system and the controllers. Unless you ask for it, there is no way we want to start separating lighties somewhere out in the boonies.
