Leadership

Pilots and aircraft owners around the globe recognize the leadership role AOPA plays in general aviation. AOPA has for more than 70 years worked with local and national governments to protect the rights of pilots and promote general aviation. The organization’s lobbying and watchdog efforts—which continue today—have, at times, quite literally saved general aviation from encroaching over-regulation and even extinction.

Unparalleled Reach

Seven decades of service to general aviation has evolved a family of communication properties that are positioned to inform and educate pilots—from student to chief pilot and aircraft owners, from an LSA to the corporate jet. With a membership exceeding 415,000 enthusiastic, devoted members, AOPA is uniquely positioned to deliver your message efficiently to your current customers and future buyers. It is revealing that nearly 68% of all general aviation pilots are AOPA members.

Powerful Media Assets

AOPA owes its remarkable influence to its tradition of providing pilots with exactly the kind of information they need. By continually engaging with pilots on important issues, AOPA has been able to build a venerable list of magazines, Web sites, newsletters and events that all enjoy top status within the pilot community. There is no more credible source of general aviation information on the market.
