Membership Levels
Full Flying Member
Youth PROGRAM Member
People up to age 18 or full time students up to age 22 are eligible to become Youth Program members. Youth Program members can earn flying credits by helping around the airfield with the credits applied to their flying charges. Many youth members are able to essentially fly for free by using these work credits.

In addition to a membership application, each applicant for membership will be required to sign a WAIVER AND INDEMNITY FORM, which is included in the Prospective New Member Packet. For applicants for Youth Program Membership, the application must also be signed by a Parent or Guardian, whose signature must be NOTARIZED. A signature is also required from the applicant's spouse if the applicant is married.
Note that a prospective member's signature on the Waiver and Indemnity form must be witnessed by a TSA Board member, so the applicant should not sign that form until they come out to the club for their first visit.
