FAQ’s

Who is eligible to join?

All regular full-time employees of the ERAU Daytona Beach Campus and ERAU Worldwide Campus who reside within the Daytona Beach, Florida, area are eligible to join the EFC after completing one year of full-time employment with ERAU. The EFC Membership Officer may waive the one-year waiting period at their discretion.

Immediate family members of an eligible ERAU full-time employee may also join the EFC if they reside in the Daytona Beach, Florida, area. The eligible ERAU employee must be an EFC member in good standing before an immediate family member may join.

For EFC membership purposes, immediate family members are defined as parents, spouses, children, grandparents, and grandchildren. If the ERAU employee’s EFC membership is discontinued, the associated family member’s EFC membership will also be discontinued.

Do I need a pilot's license to join?

Not at all. You don’t have to have any aviation experience. If you want, you can receive flight training from one of the club’s instructors and get your pilot’s license.

Can I receive flight instruction in club airplanes?

Absolutely! The club’s primary goal is to promote aviation. The club maintains a list of approved flight instructors willing to give instruction. After you become a member, feel free to get in touch with one.

Can I take passengers flying with me?

Of course! However, per the EFC Flight Operations Rules, no person may act as pilot-in-command or operate an EFC aircraft unless that person is a member in good standing and has been authorized by the EFC Standardization Officer to act as a pilot, instructor, or student.
