I had a hangar in Plymouth Mass where I kept the Comanche. Started getting invoices for overnights in Hyannis all of 30 miles away. The first couple I just sent an e mail saying you have the wrong N number. Finally number 3 shows up with a picture of my Comanche on the ramp in Hyannis. It was accompanied by an invoice for 3 overnights. Come to find out my father in law and partner was flying the 30 miles to his home and tying down outside. It allowed him early morning flights.
Keep you seldom flying partners in your loop. I got so complacent about his seldom use I guess I would have been surprised when I opened the hangar door to his car inside.so what you are saying is.... maybe I should be looking at my friends differently :-?
My son and I signed up for notifications from Flight Aware when our airplane departs and lands. Yesterday the airplane was tied down in our hangar in North Carolina. We got notifications that it "was spotted in flight near Inverness, FL," and that "tracking stopped near Jacksonville, FL." Anyone know if this would be a Flight Aware problem or maybe someone had programmed their ADSB with the wrong code? I sure don't want to get a nastygram from the feds saying I busted a TFR or flew under a bridge when our airplane is not the one involved. Suggestions?
I changed this post after I read the website of the company that sends the bills. Apparently it’s totally automated which guarantees a certain error level. More or less than human input? Who knows.Neither fraud nor honest mistake... just incompetence.
Agreed. It appears they have other airports here on LI as customers. I did once get an erroneous landing fee bill from FRG which is about 20 miles from me.I would still say it’s incompetent to deploy a system with a known error rate and requires people who were not involved to interact and dispute a bill that’s not there’s.
