Over the past two years, AOPA has been able to actively save members who own their own aircraft an average of $179.22 per year by promoting legislation to create tax exemptions and cuts, while opposing legislation that would increase taxes and fees on pilots. Renters save, too. In 2014,46 state legislatures were in session, and AOPA reviewed and monitored hundreds of bills passing through every one of those state legislatures, on the lookout for measures with the potential to affect general aviation, either directly or indirectly. When we found a bill that could help or harm GA, we jumped in, fighting to protect your freedom to fly, educating lawmakers about the consequences of their decisions, and promoting legislation that makes it easier and more affordable to take to the air. Take a look at this sampling of states where we've made a difference in just 2013 and 2014, and see how much some of these measures are saving* pilots right now.
