The Bay Area Aero Club (BAAC) is a non-profit flying club based at the Pearland Regional Airport since 1979. Our membership is diverse and includes students working on obtaining a private license, private and commercial pilots, pilots with instrument and multi-engine ratings, CFI and CFII instructors, and airline transport pilots. Each member is covered by a comprehensive insurance policy, and is required to take an annual check ride with a certified Club Instructor.
The BAAC has aircraft agreements with several owners to rent their aircraft exclusively to Club members. The Club's fleet varies from time to time, but we try to maintain a mix that includes primary trainers, instrument trainers, complex aircraft, and single-engine cross country aircraft. Our aircraft are available for local and extended overnight trips. At this time, we have seven great aircraft in the club.
The Bay Area Aero Club is located at Darrell Bivens' Hangar between Life Flight and Total Aircraft on the taxi-way off of Malthusian Way. A membership application is available online on our website. When completed it will be reviewed for approval. Fees include an initiation fee of $100 (payable at orientation), and low monthly dues.
The BAAC offers an attractive aircraft agreement program for aircraft owners. The Club pays the standard airport ramp tie-down fees and a portion of the aircraft insurance coverage. The aircraft owners receive a specified dry rate for the rental of their aircraft and all fuel and tax charges are collected from the members and paid by the Club.
