Dear Prospective Member:

Welcome and thank you for your interest in Blue Sky Aviation Association. This introductory letter is intended to give you a general overview of Blue Sky and to guide you through the application process.

Blue Sky is a not-for-profit, member-managed flying club, which owns aircraft (currently three), used exclusively by its members. The fees collected from members (monthly dues and hourly rates for usage) cover the costs of maintaining and upgrading our aircraft as well as the general operation of the club. Blue Sky is a volunteer organization, and no officer or member receives any compensation.

Blue Sky is a social organization dedicated to safe and affordable flying for the enjoyment and education of its members. We encourage members to maintain proficiency and enhance their flying knowledge. Attendance at monthly meetings and other Blue Sky events, like our two yearly Wash & Waxes and Annual Banquet, are additional social and educational opportunities.

For Blue Sky to continue to operate successfully, we must continue to add quality members to the club when openings occur. Blue Sky needs members who want to pursue their love of flying and are willing to contribute to the continued success of the organization.

How to Join Blue Sky Aviation Association:

Applicants are encouraged to attend BSAA monthly meetings to get to know the club and its members, and for members to get to know you. Meetings are generally held on the first Monday of each month. Contact bsaaboard@blueskyaa.com for location. Having members vouch for candidates is a valuable way to enhance your prospect of joining the club. Prior to attending a membership meeting, review the Bylaws and Operating Procedures found on this website. These two documents explain the day-to-day operation of the club, the use of our airplanes, and what is expected of our members.

Blue Sky does not accept Student Pilots; you must have at a minimum, a Private Pilot’s License. To apply for membership, fill out the Application Form below and click submit to send it to bsaaboard@blueskyaa.com. Please answer all questions. You will be contacted shortly thereafter. If you are invited for an interview, please bring your license, logbook, and medical.

At the interview, you will present this material, and the Board will refer to your application for further information. Within a week, a member of the Board will contact you to inform you of the Board’s decision. If accepted to the club, the Bond and initiation fee must be paid in full. At this point you are a member of Blue Sky Aviation Association, and the fun begins.

A Board member or member-CFI will make an appointment to meet with you at the airport and you will be given a one-on-one orientation and schedule a checkout in one of the planes. After a successful checkout you will be given the keys to the planes. The first month’s bill is a prorated share of the monthly dues, based on the day of the month in which you became a member.

Once again, thank you for your interest.

Sincerely,

The Board, Blue Sky Aviation Association
