A flying club or aero club is a not-for-profit, member-run organization that provides its members with affordable access to aircraft.
Many clubs also provide flight training, flight planning facilities, pilot supplies and associated services, as well as organizing social functions, fly-ins and fly-outs to other airports and so forth. While flying clubs are home to those who pursue flying as a hobby, many commercial pilots also get their start at flying clubs.
Most flying clubs own and rent small general aviation aircraft. In North America and Europe the most popular such aircraft are the Cessna 152, the Cessna 172, and the Piper Cherokee. However some clubs also exist to provide access to more specialized aircraft, such as vintage planes, aerobatic planes, helicopters and gliders.
In Canada, however, the clubs can be fairly large non-profit operations, some dating back to the 1920s and operating at large airports as well as small. Canadian flying clubs often serve as fixed-base operators at their airports as well as flight schools and aircraft renters.
A great insight into a 'first solo' flight
Thousands of pilots worldwide have found an outlet for their passion for flight through a local flying club. With over 600 organizations in the United States, there are many opportunities to become a member at an already-existing flying club. While many pilots seek a flying club for the financial benefits, it is the community and sense of camaraderie that make their membership special. Studies have shown that pilots that become members in flying clubs remain much more active in aviation as a result of the peer support found in the club. Most clubs even allow members to take primary flight training in the club aircraft while almost all flying clubs allow and even promote advanced and recurrent training. You may not even have to look outside of the club membership to find a certified flight ...

I've been flying professionally for about 13 years, and now I have the pleasure of flying this Gulfstream G450 which is a lot of fun and exciting. And today I'm going to talk to you about becoming a pilot. What is a flying club, and how would you join one, and why would you join one? Well, a flying club usually involves one or several airplanes that are owned by the members and what that does, is that allows potentially for you to save some money on the hourly rate of the aircraft. what you would do is again through the normal research: online or phonebook, maybe word of mouth- ...
