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 is very convenient - the above 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 you will need to provide the following minimum paperwork and a check or money order for $130.00 (see membership joining costs below).
- Completed and signed Application form (below)
- Copy of your State Driver’s 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)
First things first, though. We’d like to chat with you on the phone and/or have you come for a visit at the Club, to see if we are a good fit for you. For more information, please call the Club at (510) 638-4149, or (better) contact the Membership Officer.
