LA HB718

Private landowners who permit free recreational use of their land for aeronautical activities at nonpublic use airports would be shielded from liability for injuries or property damage caused by defects in the land

Liability protection does not apply to willful or malicious failure to warn against dangerous conditions, uses, structures, or activities on the property

"Aeronautical activities" covers aircraft transportation, operations, construction, repair, maintenance of aircraft and airports, landing fields/strips, air navigation, flight, and flight instruction

Landowners may still accept cost-sharing contributions, in-kind services, or donations without losing liability protection; only charging admission fees would trigger loss of protection

Protection applies to all lands or water bottoms owned, leased, or managed by the owner, regardless of the property's primary purpose
