Key Takeaways:

The Greater Orlando Aviation Authority (GOAA) has delayed a proposal to implement automated ADS-B-monitored landing fees at Orlando International and Executive Airports.
This postponement was largely due to a significant turnout and input from local pilots, mobilized by the AOPA, just days before the scheduled vote.
The proposed fees, which use ADS-B data for billing, are uncommon for general aviation aircraft owners and faced community questions regarding their necessity.

The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) reported Thursday that the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority (GOAA), which controls Orlando International Airport (KMCO) and Orlando Executive Airport (KORL), has delayed a proposal to impose automated ADS-B-monitored landing fees.

The AOPA credits a flurry of input from local pilots just two days before the January 15 vote for the decision to reconsider the proposal.
