What is the Washington Pilots Association . . .?
. . .and Why You Should Be A Member.

The Washington Pilots Association (WPA) helps keep the passion for general aviation alive in Washington State and plays a leading role in ensuring the facilities and policies are in place to enable this spirit of adventure to take flight today and in the future.

The WPA is the only non-profit organization of pilots and others interested in aviation focused on serving pilots and promoting general aviation specifically in the state of Washington. Here is what the WPA does for you:

The Washington Pilots Association is not affiliated with the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) Aviation Division, the FAA, or any other government agency. WPA is not the recipient of any fees collected by these or any other agency. WPA is a private, non-profit organization, funded by our members– pilots and others interested in aviation, just like you.

Enjoy the unique camaraderie, fellowship, and friendship with fellow aviators by participating in WPA chapter meetings and social functions. Most chapters have monthly meetings, often featuring outstanding guest speakers to entertain and to educate members. WPA also sponsors fly-outs, picnics, training, and other activities to keep aviation fun. Members can make use of a private, fly-in rustic cabin in the San Juan Islands, available to members only. Plus, the WPA brings aviation close to the general public through education programs, airport appreciation days, and other public awareness and advocacy activities.

In today’s challenging regulatory environment, those who care about general aviation need to work together to preserve our airports and our rights to fly. WPA is here to promote progress and development of aviation in Washington, and represents general aviation against threats on the state and local levels. Working on behalf of general aviation pilots since 1960, WPA is your voice when decisions are made that can impact your ability to fly. Please join us in our efforts.

The WPA is your organization.  Help keep the passion for flying alive in the state of Washington and help us to fight to preserve your right to fly.  Join or renew your membership today.  The bigger we are, the stronger we are! Download a membership application and mail it today!
