About COPA

The Cirrus Owners and Pilots Association (COPA) is a not-for profit membership organization established to educate, promote the safety of and support the owners and pilots of certified aircraft manufactured by Cirrus Design Corporation, encourage ownership of these aircraft and provide social activities for its members. Additionally, COPA will promote goodwill towards the general aviation community.

Founded in 2001, with over 2800 members worldwide, COPA is a volunteer-run organization completely independent of Cirrus Design Corp.

Membership

COPA Forums

One of the most active online forums in general aviation, the COPA forums have hundreds of messages posted each day. The ideal place to absorb information or get any question answered...often in minutes.

With over 250,000 past posts in the Members section, COPA forums are also a vast treasure store of knowledge and information of incalculable value to the prospective or active Cirrus pilot or owner.

Technical Liaison Activities

Working behind-the-scenes with aircraft, engine, and avionics suppliers, COPAs Technical Liaisons regularly forward member issues to vendors and report to members with information on critical issues affecting Cirrus aircraft, both on the COPA online forums and in Cirrus Pilot magazine.

Safety, Educational, & Recreational Events

Cirrus Pilot Proficiency Program

The most in-depth two-day weekend training program available for Cirrus pilots. Scheduled throughout the year and throughout the USA, and occasionally in Europe, CPPP offers both groundonly and ground & flight sessions with seasoned certified Cirrus Standardized Instructor Pilots. Many members attend annually as part of their recurrent training.

Critical Decision Making Seminars

The majority of accidents are the result of a failure in the pilot’s decision-making process. These free half-day seminars held throughout the USA explore real-world situations and help pilots develop effective techniques to become safer decision makers.

COPA Regional Events


Volunteer regional groups often announce one-day (and sometimes longer), usually informal events where COPA members will gather to socialize and meet face-to-face. Often held at attractive locations with special talks, tours, and activities.  Watch the COPA Event Calendar and the COPA Forums for events near you.

COPA Migration

Each summer hundreds of Cirrus aircraft make the return flight to the Cirrus factory in Duluth, Minnesota. A weekend of excellent seminars, vendor trade show, and family-friendly socializing awaits. A hugely successful and popular event.

The 6th Annual Migration was held in July. You can still see the event details on the registration website.
