The plan in place in Nav Canada charges GA planes based on weight if under 3 metric tons, and the average fee is around $88-98 USD. Sadly, there is the 'camels nose under the tent'. What is ~$100 today, could easily be $1000 in four years, or $10,000 in ten years. After all the GA community has zero voice in govt so it would be easy prey for overcharging. |
