About Young Eagles
The Progam
The EAA Young Eagles program was created to welcome young people into the world of aviation. Aviation is exciting and vital to our nation’s future. Your child will experience an enjoyable flight that will give them new perspectives on the world and life in general. Participation in the Young Eagles program will help them understand that an individual’s potential is unlimited.
Who are the Pilots?
The pilots who participate in the Young Eagles program are local members of EAA who are volunteering their time and aircraft to make your child’s flight possible. Each Young Eagles pilot is licensed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and all the aircraft utilized are also registered by the FAA. The flight will be conducted according to federal regulations. In addition, no aerobatic maneuvers will be performed. Young Eagle pilots have now volunteered to provide more than 1.5 million flight experiences since 1992.
