Why join COPA?

When you join the Canadian Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (COPA), you support a great cause in addition to your personal benefits. There is no single reason why our community of more than 12,000 pilots and aircraft owners join COPA, but here are some of those reasons:

• 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 pilots, experienced pilots or aspiring pilots
  Regardless of your current flying status, meet other aviation enthusiasts with similar interests through our flight meetings.
• Access critical information for local advocacy
  We support our members and your local advocacy efforts with powerful communications tools, economic impact studies and general aviation reporting.
• Defending your interests
  As the voice of general aviation in Canada, COPA represents and defends your interests before government and industry committees and forums in Canada.
• Safety and Knowledge Training
  Stay current with the COPA Aviation Academy, the first online learning portal dedicated to Canada’s general aviation community.
• Events organized by COPA Clubs across Canada
  Our network of more than 200 Clubs organizes air rendezvous and aviation discovery events that welcome communities to the airport grounds.
• Awards and Scholarships
  COPA recognizes the distinct contributions of its members through its prestigious awards program and offers nearly $32,000 in scholarships each year to deserving flight training candidates.
