Member Benefits: Free tools for new pilots
Sign up your students
“I joined AOPA to be connected to the aviation community. Initially, I enjoyed the obvious benefits like discounts...and insurance, but since I have found many other things to love about AOPA. I particularly like AOPA’s educational videos and the flight planning tool. I recently flew cross-country from South Dakota to Arizona with my four young sons, and the AOPA flight planning tool was invaluable for me to find airports and fuel prices along the route.
“The resources available to me as an AOPA member are fantastic. The magazine is filled with great content, and the emails have pertinent and relevant aviation news and information. I know why I fly with AOPA—what about you?”
