We are a Community of aviation enthusiasts who simply love building and flying wonderful sport aircraft.
What is special about SAAA is the comradery that pervades our organisation through the Chapter networks. The Members help each other out in so many ways – advice, guidance, moral support and hands on assistance around building, flying, maintenance, events and much more.
There are several important roles within the organisation, from the Management Team through to the many Members operating as Authorised Persons and expert advisors, who willingly offer their services to the organisation as volunteers.
Many of our Members have built several aircraft, have flight experience on multiple aircraft types and configurations with thousands of general aviation hours of experience behind them. And many are current or retired professional aviators and industry participants. Pretty much any type of aircraft you may want to build or fly – there will almost certainly be someone within our community that has been there before.
Between us all – we know about sport aircraft!
The social side of the community is highly valued – informal gatherings, BBQs, and other social events organised within the Chapters and there are regular national and regional fly-ins which are a great way to fly more and catch-up with friends, other aviators and industry supporters.
This is the fabric of SAAA – its community spirit and willingness amongst its membership to help each other in spades.
Edit GOVERNANCE & DOCUMENTS narration below and link remainder of content behind “member access only” wall
The business of the SAAA is operated through a system of corporate governance. This comprises a compendium of policies and procedures which drive various management, operations and support activities and processes – this documentation can be accessed by Members only via our Corporate Reference Centre.
Activities are guided by annual business plans that identify, for each element of our business, the goals for each element and associated prioritised routine and non-routine tasks. These plans are available to Members, and we encourage Members to become familiar with the planned activities and contribute with ideas to improve and further advance SAAA.
The prevailing SAAA Exposition provides a management overview of the SAAA and articulates a summary of what we do, how we operate and with whom. It also describes how we achieve corporate governance and compliance as may be relevant from time to time with the Australian aviation regulator, namely the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA).
