Flying Club Resource Center
EAA has long believed that flying clubs are a great way to make aviation more accessible and affordable. Throughout the years, many members have approached EAA asking for information about establishing a flying club. To help and provide guidance, EAA has developed this Flying Club Resource Center to address the unique requirements of EAA members.
Tell EAA about your flying club! EAA wants to learn about flying clubs that are fully operation and clubs in the formation stage. This will help EAA provide the necessary resources to flying clubs, as well as provide information for a future EAA flying club database. Please fill out the questionnaire below.

Flying clubs are a great way for pilots to get more affordable flight time, but they also provide a window into aviation for the surrounding communities. Hands-on experiences around the hangar and flight training opportunities are all benefits.
