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, start by collecting the following for your application package:
- Completed and signed Membership Application
- Completed and signed Partial Release of Liability
- Copy of your Driver Record obtained from the issuing agency (if licensed; the unofficial version is acceptable)
- Copy of both sides of your Pilot or Student Pilot Certificate (if held)
- Copy of your current Medical Certificate (if held)
- Copy of the logbook entry for your last Flight Review (not required for student pilots)
- Copy of two documents from the List of Acceptable Documents (See the footnote on Page 1; Acceptable combinations are shown in the tables on Page 2)
Next, email the Membership Officer that you are ready to submit your application package; you will be given a link to a secure upload location. After the Membership Officer has reviewed your application package, you will be invited to a meeting to discuss your and the Club’s questions, objectives, and expectations, and ensure we are a good fit.
Initial Membership Charges include an Initiation Fee, a Refundable Deposit, and First Month’s Dues (see Club Rules for current amounts). These charges are due upon board approval of membership and must be paid in Flight Circle using a credit card or ACH transfer.
Monthly Membership Dues begin to accrue upon board approval of membership (see Club Rules for current amounts).
