About Us:
The MIT Flying Club's primary purpose is to motivate, encourage,
and facilitate an affordable, hands-on experience in
flying.
Originally formed
in the late 1920s, the MIT Flying Club (MITFC) was reborn in the Fall
of 2005 to provide members the opportunity to meet and interact with
others who are interested in aviation.
Throughout the academic year, MITFC holds a variety of informal
gatherings where members can meet to discuss aviation, listen to
lectures, and watch movies. In addition, MITFC maintains a
library of navigational and instructional materials. Several
textbooks, a headset, U.S. sectionals, and airport facility directories
are available for members to borrow. While based at MIT,
club membership is open to everyone.
A "loggable" flight simulator is being readied for use by the
end of the semester. In addition, MITFC will be holding a
flying trip to Cape Cod this April. For more information about the
club's upcoming events, and how to get into powered and
unpowered flight, download the Powerpoint Presentation.
The MIT Flying Club is organized by the MIT Flying Club Executive Board.
The MITFC Constitution can be found here.
