About Us

Are you a pilot looking for other pilots who love to fly as much as you do?

Our club was incorporated on March 19, 1975. Today, as a modern, progressive and professional non-profit corporation, it is dedicated to the safety and advancement of aviation.

We believe that you will find GFPA to be one of the finer flying clubs in the state of Michigan.

How about the opportunity to upgrade to a larger airplane? Our flagship, N3559E, an (almost) new Cessna 182... 135 hours (7/2005), new leather, new panel, new paint. Of course... It's new! A crisp 145kts (well, maybe downhill. But, you can still plan at 140kts!) A KLN94 GPS coupled to a KMD-550 Multi Function Display and a JP Instruments engine monitor round out the package.

GFPA has Certified Flight Instructors ready to guide you from your first flight all the way through your checkride. Student pilots are welcome. Many GFPA members pursue advanced ratings, such as instrument, commercial, and flight instructor.  Several of the GFPA members are instructors and can prepare you for primary and advanced ratings.  All GFPA instructors teach on a part time basis and make themselves available as their personal schedule permits.

GFPA has something to offer you!
