Membership in the Alameda Aero Club offers student and experienced pilots more of what they are looking for in a flying club. As a member, you are a part owner of the aircraft. You enjoy 24-hour access to all the planes via our convenient web-based reservation system, Flight Circle.
In close proximity to San Francisco and East Bay cities, Oakland International is very convenient – this view of the Golden Gate Bridge is ten flying minutes away. We have experienced Instructors, and student pilot training is typically more thorough than in most places, given the diversity of terrain, airspace, and airport types in the Bay Area.
To join the Alameda Aero Club, provide the Membership Officer a single PDF file containing the following minimum documentation:
- Completed and signed Membership Application (PDF/DOCX)
- Completed and signed Partial Release of Liability
- Copy of your Driver Record obtained from the issuing agency (if you have a driver license; the unofficial version is acceptable)
- Copy of both sides of your Pilot or Student Pilot Certificate (if held)
- Copy of your FAA Pilot Record (if you hold any FAA certificate, including Student Pilot)
- Copy of your current FAA Medical Certificate (if held)
- Copy of logbook entries of your last Flight Review (not required for student pilots)
- Copy of required documentation (choose a List A + List B option from the tables on page 2; advise if you must use a List C option; do not email a copy of your Social Security Card)
After the Membership Officer has received and reviewed the above documentation, you will be invited to a meeting to chat about the club, answer your questions, and see if we are a good fit for each other.
