Ok so down here in the USA sounds like change may be on the way...
I spent a while reviewing the Nav Canada Fee documentation and to be honest I am a little confused.
Looks like base line for a light airplane you pay ~$68 a year currently. Does that cover everything? If a guy operated his light airplane (less than 3 metric tonnes) for 350+ hrs a year with say 40 instrument approaches and filed IFR 70 times that year and got flight following (whatever it is called up there) say 20 times. Would his cost still be $68?
Also did you get a reduction in fuel tax when the privatization took place?
Looks like I paid ~$880 or more last year in fuel tax of which I am not sure how much was supposed to be used for the ATC system.
