Upon discovering the NGPA, many people feel as if they have found where they belong.
That's because the NGPA is about community.
We are a home for LGBTQ people with a love for aviation; we are a vehicle that connects those with shared passions. We invite you to join our family and connect with people from many different backgrounds, all of whom have found a shared home at NGPA.
General Aviation pilots and enthusiasts have been a core element of NGPA since the organization was founded. The General Aviation Committee is our opportunity to ensure that the voice of GA members is heard as NGPA strives to serve its diverse membership. We need input from the full spectrum of the General Aviation sector to deliver the most valuable networking, support, and educational resources. Whether you’re a student pilot, an enthusiast, a CFI, a private pilot, or a retired professional pilot, your perspective is welcome in the General Aviation Committee. Join us to bring the right mix of social events, support, and education to NGPA gatherings and offerings.
