Landing Fees

[BrendAn]

I know an instructor that was getting charged double landing fees.

The cameras at each end were getting him on touch and goes.

Avdata being what they are just billed him anyway . They must have reckoned he was doing 30 second

. They are only affected if you enter their circuit .

NO! They do not own the airspace above the field. As long as you do not land (wheels touch the ground) you can not be charged. 😈

There is a specific post or series of posts which found who owns the land above the property.

Back to Landing Fees:

 

Reference : ERSA

 

It's come to my notice (two landings at two diffrent airfields) that some airfields state that they charge a landing feed but do not say what that fee is. 

 

I believe it is against Australian Consumer Law, to charge for any Good or Service, without disclosing the fee befor the Good or Service is provided.

 

This makes sense, as accepting the published/posted fee, is tantamount to the customer (me) agreeing to a contract to pay the provider, for the good or service provided. No fee no contract!

 

If I be correct (??) would it be appropriate to refuse payment, when AvData bill for the landing(s)??

 

😈

The above is now the question being asked (note the date).

 

There have been some speculative debate on the topic

 

Unfortunately some tangential stuff, that has almost no relation to the requirement to post all charges/fees,  that has largely already been answered much earlier in this thread.😈
