SAFETY EVENTS
We are the Cirrus Owners and Pilots Association (COPA®) – 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 Aircraft Company. We encourage ownership of these aircraft and provide online interaction, training programs and social activities for our members. Additionally, COPA® will promote goodwill towards the general aviation community.
Founded in 2001, with over 6,000 members worldwide, COPA® is a volunteer-run organization completely independent of Cirrus Aircraft Company.
Open to all interested individuals. Dues are $95 per year, which includes a subscription to COPA® Pilot magazine as well as the benefits listed below. Join now by registering at cirruspilots.org or [email protected].
