AOPA
The Aircraft Owner and Pilots Association UK is part of the largest General Aviation (GA) Association in the world, through the Council of International AOPA's IAOPA). IAOPA is the only GA organisation recognised by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO). Spanning 75 Countries, each National AOPA is an independent Association. These are grouped into Regional IAOPA's. In the case of AOPA UK, we are grouped with IAOPA Europe. The primary function for each National AOPA is to Lobby (Advocate) for their members and the benefit of GA in their Home Nation. Collectively, each IAOPA Region seeks to promote GA more widely and lobby for common sense and proportional regulation and recognition of national standards for all, using best practice examples where these exist. We are committed to the fair treatment of GA in the UK and elsewhere, without favouring one sector over another or one activity over another. We do not see Private flying as purely recreational or sport flying. We support regulation that is proportionate, fact based and beneficial to GA. We oppose excessive regulation, red tape and unnecessary bureaucracy. We oppose regulation that places a cost burden on GA without an appropriate benefit.
