Are you looking for another reason to fly? Most Private pilots fly for fun, taking friends and family on flying trips. Or sometimes they go on solo adventures to see scenic beauty and free themselves from the cares on life on the ground. For pilots who want another reason to get up in the air, may we suggest looking into Philanthropy flying. Volunteering to use your pilot certificate to help others.
SCFC promotes General Aviation as a way to build community, and offers discount to club members who rent planes for “Philanthropy” flights. These are flights in direct support of Angel Flight West, Pilots N Paws, CalDART, EAA Young Eagles, or any other non-profit charity. In this way, the club supports pilots, who support groups that make the world better.
On Wed, June 11th, SCFC has invited in a panel of member pilots who have flown volunteer missions for one or more of these organizations. We’ll hear their stories, and find new ways that we can use our pilot skills in a way that benefits our community. They’ll share with us the steps they take to make sure that these flights can be an enjoyable, and most importantly, a safe experience. The panel will be moderated by Fei Fang, SCFC’s volunteer Seminar Host. Audience discussion and questions are encouraged.
San Carlos Flight Center (SCFC) is the SF Bay Area’s most dynamic flying club, committed to building general aviation through safety, community, and adventure.
