We are the Palm Springs Aviators

Thank you for your interest in aviation and for taking the time to seek us out. Palm Springs Aviators, Inc. is a not-for-profit California mutual benefit corporation that has been active since 2014. We are the only flying club in the Coachella Valley, and have a proud group of equity members, several social members, and three club-approved CFIs.

Equity-based Ownership

Palm Springs Aviators is a club whose members include a wide spectrum of aviation experience and professional backgrounds - lawyers, professional pilots, retirees and others. If you want to own an airplane, but can’t reasonably justify all of the overhead associated with private ownership, Palm Springs Aviators may be your answer. 

When you propose to purchase a share, we post your application to our members. Once your membership is approved and the financial transaction completed, you need only pass your check ride to enjoy membership privileges. Easy as that!

 

"Cost, of course, is one of the most frequently cited reason for the decline in aviation. One of the best ways to reduce costs is to join a flying club, where your hourly operating rate plummets compared to that of individual ownership . The side benefit is a much more social flying experience."
 

"Playing the long game" by Thomas B. Haines in AOPA Pilot, August 2017, p. 16.
