Every membership counts.
Consider supporting COPA by joining or renewing today. When you join the Canadian Owners and Pilots Association, you are supporting a greater cause on top of personal benefits. There is no-one-size fits all reason our community of 12,000+ pilots and aircraft owners join, however, many of the reasons include:
- Supporting a bright future for general aviation
Our goal is to change the way people think about general aviation and dispel myths about who flies recreationally and how. - Meet new, experienced, and/or aspiring pilots
Regardless of your current status as a pilot, meet other aviation enthusiasts with similar interests through our fly-ins. - Access critical information for local advocacy efforts
We support our members, and your local advocacy efforts, with powerful communication tools, economic impact studies, and general aviation reports. - Defend your interests
As the voice of general aviation in Canada, COPA represents and defends your interests at government and industry committees and forums in Canada.
- Safety and knowledge training
Stay current through the COPA Aviation Academy, the first online learning portal dedicated to the general aviation community in Canada. - Cross Canada Chapter events
Our network of 200+ chapters organize fly-ins and Discover Aviation events that welcome communities into the airport grounds. - Awards and scholarships
