Picking a Flying Club

Flying an airplane is the most fun when you do it with friends!  But before picking out a flying club, here are some important things to consider…

Okay, so you’ve gone through training.  You’ve flown solo, you’ve done your cross country work, you’ve had hood training and night flight training and done over a hundred and twenty landings.  You’ve taken and passed your checkride, and your pilot’s license just showed up in your mailbox.  Congratulations!!!  Now what?  Well, it’s time to pick a flying club.

One of the most rewarding parts of being a pilot is by sharing your experiences and flight time with your friends.  Not everyone has the benefit of having friends who are pilots, but that doesn’t mean you can’t make some.  Joining a flying club can be the best way to experience the different aspects of aviation that you would normally miss by going on with things alone.  Aside from providing good friends and good company, a flying club can provide enthusiasm, confidence, and most importantly, ongoing flight education that reaches past your student flight training and into your future with aviation.  Fantastic websites such as , you’ll be happy to have other pilots around you with which to share your love of flying.
