LC 4228 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Revise laws related to services provided by airports to light aircraft

This bill requires Montana state-funded airports to provide free services to light aircraft, which are defined as planes weighing 12,500 pounds or less. Under the new rules, these airports must allow light aircraft to land, taxi, park with tie downs for up to seven days, and access security areas with designated parking for at least four vehicles. The bill also prohibits airports from charging additional fees for these services unless the fees are clearly disclosed and agreed upon before each flight. This change directly affects airports receiving state funding and pilots operating small aircraft under Part 91 of federal regulations.
