EAA Annual Convention in Margate.

The Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) is comprised of members with an interest in building, flying, or restoring their own aircraft.

EAA gives members an opportunity to share ideas and experiences, get help with a difficult project, or even chat with another member who has common interests.

Chapters: EAA consists of a number of individual “Chapters”. Each Chapter is made up of members from the same geographical area.

Chapters organise activities for their members – such as fly-ins, talks, visits to building and restoration projects – and also offer support for members doing their own aircraft building or restoration.

Activities: Major events on the South African EAA calendar include EAA AirWeek during April/May and Sun ‘n Fun during August.

Recently Mike Melvill (pilot of the first private space program) came out to South Africa. Chapters often organise their own events ranging from a Young Eagles day, fabric covering workshops, breakfast fly-ins, visits to ATC centres, and more.

Junior Program: junior programme exposes children to the aviation industry and has resulted in some of our junior members finding careers in the aviation industry. It’s an expansion of the international Young Eagles program.
