    Well it is not that simple. Current aviation user fees fund 71% of the FAA capital and operating budget. Just by flying our airplanes we are all ready "pay as you go" for much of the cost.

    We currently pay 19.4 cents/gallon in Federal fuel tax which is designated for funding airport and Air Traffic Control operations.
