General Aviation Airport Access Act
This bill requires certain public airports to provide parking space near the main apron for temporary general aviation aircraft (like private planes not operated by airlines) when pilots don't need fuel or other services. Covered airports can charge a fair, transparent fee for this parking but cannot charge extra fees for moving between the aircraft and outside the airport fence. It directly affects pilots of transient general aviation aircraft and airports that qualify as "covered" (public airports receiving federal grants in the last 20 years). The law clarifies definitions and ensures access without hidden costs for these temporary users.
