This is what we look for in potential members:
- Certified pilots. TSS is accepting certified pilots as new members. At this time, we are not taking primary students.
- Contributors. It takes a lot of volunteers and effort to operate the best flying club on the East Coast! We need club members to support various club functions including: club management thought board positions; aircraft maintenance and documentation, hangar maintenance and supplies, and financial services. TSS has been repeatedly recognized by AOPA: AOPA 2023, AOPA 2022, AOPA 2018
- Ownership Experience. We offer a partial ownership experience with sparkling, well-maintained airplanes. This means cleaning up after yourself, cleaning bugs of wings and windshield after every flight, etc.
- Community Participants. We want members who want to participate in the TSS experience. We want you at meetings to build relationships with other club members, participating in plane washes and TSS Missions, giving your opinion and expertise, sharing photos and being a part of the community, Not flying in isolation. If this sounds like it is up your ally, please connect with us to learn more about membership.
