Montana Title 67. Aeronautics § 67-1-106. Automatic dependent surveillance-broadcasts

Current as of January 01, 2024 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

(1) For aircraft as defined in subsection (2)(a), no entity, whether a division of government or a private company or corporation, may use information broadcast or collected by automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast systems, whether that data originates from ADS-B in or ADS-B out, as a means for calculating, generating, and collecting fees from aircraft owners or operators who operate aircraft within the geographic boundaries of the state.

(2) For the purposes of this section, the following definitions apply:

(a) “Aircraft” has the same meaning as provided in 67-1-101, except the aircraft must have a gross weight of 9,000 pounds or less and operate under Title 14, part 91, Code of Federal Regulations.

(b) “Automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast” means an advanced aviation surveillance technology that combines an aircraft's positioning source, aircraft avionics, and a ground infrastructure to create an accurate surveillance interface between an aircraft and air traffic control. The term consists of two different services, ADS-B in and ADS-B out, that can provide information, such as an aircraft's global positioning system location, altitude, ground speed, and other data, to ground stations and other aircraft, as well as weather and traffic information to aircraft operators.
