Australian Recreational Aviation ClubsRev. 117 — page content was last changed 5 August 2010 added Grafton Aero Club |
| The primary role of the Recreational Aviation clubs is to provide the social and competitive impetus for the development of recreational aviation, sport aviation and pilots. A secondary, but very important, role is the nurturing and care of inexperienced pilots. Many clubs have their own flight school — or a close association with a co-located flight training facility. Clubs usually provide a range of services to members — from advice and assistance in all aspects of flying and owning recreational and sport aircraft to hangarage and hiring of club owned aircraft; for both training and pleasure. Some clubs specialise in a particular category — or even type — of aircraft. Conversely, others include a wider range of interests including General Aviation aircraft and pilots. Other clubs may focus on particular interests; for example, constructing aircraft from commercial kits. Clubs may provide on-site accommodation for non-local members, varying from individual rooms, or bunkhouse, to caravan or camping. Membership may entail a small joining fee and an annual fee. Some clubs may offer family membership to cover the non-flying family members. Social activities might include regular fly-ins, flyaways and handicap flying competitions. The hangar barbecue tends to be a regular monthly event at which visitors — and potential members — are always welcome. Some 60% of clubs find it advantageous to be affiliated with RA-Aus; see the list of affiliated clubs [PDF document]. A club desiring affiliation status should download the application form [PDF document]. The following lists of known clubs.
