British Microlight Aircraft Association, Join us!

Why join? What does the BMAA do for me?

Formed purely to represent the members' interests the BMAA has an impressive track record.

For example the BMAA:

Has represented microlight pilots and owners since 1981
Has negotiated and developed sensible licence requirements for microlight pilots
Monitors and administers microlight instruction
Has developed an affordable and proportional airworthiness system to keep your microlight flying
Supports a network of Inspectors and Check Pilots to help you maintain your aircraft in an airworthy condition
Processes annual permit revalidations, modifications and build projects at a lower cost than the national authority
Has a full time expert staff, able to help members across the whole range of microlight-related topics
Offers free technical advice to members about building, repairing or modifying your aircraft
Maintains a network of Club Safety Officers who promote good practice for safe microlighting
Supports the highly successful British Microlight Team both in the UK and in international competitions

The BMAA continues to fight for reduced regulation and proportional legislation to ensure that our members can keep flying. At a time when the European regulators are looking to 'harmonise' leisure aviation, BMAA devotes a great deal of time to representing our sport and ensuring its continued success.

And, of course... we produce Microlight Flying, a monthly magazine exclusive to our members, offering the best coverage of microlighting in the UK and abroad. As a member of the BMAA you will also have access to:

Dedicated Microlight Flying website;
Current magazine available to read online as well as archive of past issues;
Monthly enewsletter, “MF eNews”

If you already fly a microlight or are in the process of learning, you should join the BMAA and support microlight flying in the UK!
