Please explain....re charging.
The claims of NAS reducing costs hasn't been explained. There has been no announcement of how charges will be structured under the new scheme.
So I think it's important to know exactly what AsA currently charges for ATS, and then guess what they will be charging for ATS.
And remember, not all charges are attributable to AsA.
Currently -
If you are a training organisation, and the training you refer to is VFR, then you don't pay any enroute charges.
If you receive a control service at a controlled aerodrome you will pay a landing charge based on acft weight, or a basic charge at the bigger airports.
If you're out in the boonies, self brief via the net, VFR should cost you nothing, unless you have to pay an aerodrome operator.
NB that's not AsA.
If it's IFR training you pay charges as per distance travelled, plus the above, I believe.
All the above are current charges as gleaned from AsA website.
If you're paying more than this, something's wrong or they're not AsA charges. There seems to be a lot of other fingers in the charging pie.
The above is precis'ed down but basically a guideline.
If NAS does mean reduced costs of ATS services, can they guarantee the costs will result in lower charges flowing through to the entire industry?
