NINE REASONS TO JOIN THE LAA
1
BUILD YOUR OWN AIRCRAFT
The LAA was formed out of the amateur aircraft building movement. Even today, you can build an aircraft from the original plans or purchase a modern kit from a recognised manufacturer to build your dream aircraft, with the support of an LAA Inspector. There are so many types to choose from!

LIGHT AVIATION MAGAZINE
Our full-colour monthly magazine, Light Aviation, is free to all members and is packed with a wealth of technical and flying information, first-hand reports of members’ flying adventures and aircraft builds, in depth flight tests and so much more – it’s real cover to cover reading every month!

ENGINEERING FACILITIES
At our core is the amateur built aircraft movement and the comprehensive engineering facilities that support the Permit to Fly airworthiness system.
A full time staff of qualified engineers and a countrywide network of Inspectors help make owning and flying your own aircraft both possible and affordable.
