Built by a private pilot

Know the fee before you fly.

Fee Radar helps single- and multi-engine piston pilots see airports using automated landing-fee systems, compare published schedules against aircraft weight, and plan with fewer billing surprises.

Practical preflight intelligence

Built for the aircraft you actually fly

Choose from a catalog of common piston singles and twins, then browse or search airports by state. Fee Radar pairs published airport fee information with aircraft weight so you can understand whether a landing fee may apply and what it is likely to be.

01

Airport fee map

Scan airport pins on a pilot-friendly map and see identifiers appear as you zoom into the area you are planning.

02

Aircraft-aware estimates

Select a piston single or twin and compare its weight with the airport's published fee schedule and exemptions.

03

Source-backed details

Review verification status and follow the original airport or operator source before making a final flight-planning decision.

Why this matters

Safety infrastructure should keep pilots' trust

As a private pilot, I value ADS-B for the safety mission it serves: shared awareness, traffic information, and a clearer picture of the airspace. Turning that safety signal into an opaque billing trigger creates a different relationship with the system.

  • Mission creep deserves scrutiny.A safety broadcast should not quietly become a commercial surveillance and billing mechanism without clear notice and accountability.
  • Fees should be knowable before arrival.Pilots should be able to find the actual schedule, exemptions, and weight basis during planning—not after an invoice appears.
  • Trust supports safety.Pilots should never feel pressure to limit participation in a safety system because they fear hidden commercial use of the data.
  • Transparency is not fee evasion.Fee Radar helps pilots make informed choices and pay lawful, disclosed charges; it does not interfere with billing systems or conceal flights.
Safety first, always. Fee Radar is a planning aid, not a navigation product. It should never influence a pilot to avoid a necessary landing, compromise fuel reserves, disregard weather, or choose an airport that is less safe for the operation. Airport policies change—confirm current information directly with the airport or FBO.
