NO TOUCHIE GROUND, NO LEGAL GROUNDS

Guys

I remain unconvinced that any legal grounds exist for charging for a practice or missed approach where the wheels do not touch the ground.

No one owns the air or the airspace above an airport - there may be rules about flying in it if it is Class C or D but to the best of my knowledge there is NO legal means of charging for transiting a CTAF, MBZ, etc apart from any Commonwealth imposed AirServices fees for the route/category.

I would value an opinion from CASA on this matter or from Creamie should be be browsing.

I would be interested to see any formal doco on this - it should certainly be referred to AOPA if it exists. Bracks popularity polled today at a new low, no surprise.
Cheers
Brian H
