Information for Pilots and EAA Members 1. What are the pilot requirements? Simply stated, we ask all pilots to be an EAA member, current in aircraft type, carry a current medical and provide their own liability insurance on aircraft they own or a non-owner's liability policy on rented or borrowed aircraft. As an EAA member, you are eligible for an additional policy that provides $1 million of coverage, provided you carry at least $100,000 per passenger seat yourself. For more information on this and any insurance question, please contact the EEA Insurance Office at (920) 426-4822. 2. Do I have to belong to an EAA Chapter to participate? No. Any EAA member may participate. We require a current EAA membership, except in those cases when an aviation organization applies for authorization for its members to participate. A list of currently authorized organizations is available upon request. 3. Can an EAA member from another country participate in the Young Eagles Program? Absolutely. There have been Young Eagles flown in more than 50 countries - including Canada, Scotland, Germany, England, Greece, France, Finland, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Spain and Taiwan. 4. Can I fly in my licensed "Experimental" aircraft? Yes. All aircraft are eligible provided they are properly licensed and flown in accordance with appropriate FARs (or the country's equivalent) and conform to Young Eagles Program parameters. 5. I'm not a pilot. How can I participate? Volunteers are needed to assist in finding young people, assisting with ground transportation or coordinating pre- and post-flight activities. Volunteers are also needed to serve as Chapter Coordinators or as Young Eagle Field Representatives. Field Representatives serve as liaisons between the Young Eagles Office and local Flight Leaders. There are many opportunities to help young people experience sport aviation. There are many Young Eagle Flight Rallies scheduled around the world and your assistance is welcome. 6. Can I deduct expenses incurred while flying Young Eagles? Yes. In the US the IRS has ruled that volunteer Young Eagle Pilots can deduct direct, out-of-pocket expenses incurred in direct connection with and solely attributed to the Program. Contact EAA for more information. 7. Who can I contact for suggestions or support? In the Langley area you can call: Mike Davenport at (604) 534-5383 If you are outside the Langley/Fraser Valley area please contact the Young Eagles Office and they can provide you with a list of key Young Eagles Leaders in your area. Call 1-877-806-8902 and request the name of the Chapter Coordinator or Field Representative near you.
