DO I HAVE TO BE A PILOT?
No. You can compete in all of the knowledge based competitions without a pilots license.
DO I HAVE TO BE AN AVIATION MAJOR?
No, we welcome everyone from all majors! Getting your pilots license and learning about aviation is a worthy endeavor even if you aren't majoring in it. In fact, we are fortunate to have members from aerospace engineering, business, and computer engineering.

We have a regional competition in the fall semester and a national competition in the spring semester. You can qualify to go to these by passing a tryout for an event. You'll have to pay ~$40 to go to the competition (includes hotel and registration) and will be given an absence excusal letter for the 1-2 weeks that you're gone. We also have semester dues of $40.
