Join the AAC!
Membership in the Alameda Aero Club offers student or 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. In close proximity to San Francisco and East Bay cities, Oakland International serves as a convenient airport for both your ground transportation and flying needs. Student pilot training in the Oakland area is typically more thorough than in most places, given the diversity of terrain, airspace, and airport settings in the Bay Area.
To join the Alameda Aero Club you will need to provide the following minimum paperwork and a check or money order for $130.00 (see membership joining costs below). You may send the paperwork listed below to the Club address or bring it to your first meeting:
- Completed and signed Application form (below)
- Copy of your State Drivers License
- Printout of your Driver Record obtained from the California Department of Motor Vehicles
- Copy of FAA Medical Certificate (Not required for Student Pilot until solo)
- Copy of Pilot Certificate (not required for Student Pilots)
- Copies of logbook entries of your last Biennial Flight Review (Not required for Student Pilot)
If you are a student pilot, and have met all the paperwork requirements, you may begin your training immediately. Applications can usually be processed within three days.
And finally, we really want to meet you. Come to one of our general meetings, meet other pilots, and hear an interesting talk on an aviation-related topic. For more information, please call the Club at (510) 638-4149, or email the membership coordinator.
