We the members of the general aviation pilot community are strongly opposing and ask for reversal of the FAA's action that it will begin charging for downloads that were previously free starting April 5, 2012. This means charging fees to companies for downloads and no longer allowing individuals to access them at all. Only those with distribution contracts with Aeronav will be able to download the data. This action will put a financial burden on the flight instructors, pilots and students. It will affect small aviation safety material distribution companies. Only large aviation corporations will be able to offset those expenses. It will have serious and wide ranging implications for the general aviation economy and restrict access to basic safety and proficiency materials.
