Too often, learning to fly is a solitary effort. You think "Has anyone else ever experienced the same challenges or problems I am now facing?" The answer is YES. "Will I ever do this maneuver right?" The answer is YES. "I wish I could talk to other women who have gone through this." YOU CAN.
Women student pilots can join The Ninety-Nines as Future Women Pilots. To join as a student, you must have a current medical certificate or equivalent document for non-U.S. applicants. You can remain as a Future Woman Pilot in The Ninety-Nines for two years.
More good news is that by joining as a student, at the discounted rate of $20 per year (plus $10 initiation fee for the first year), you start accumulating the time required to apply for an Amelia Earhart Memorial Scholarship! Every member with at least a year of membership is eligible to apply for an AE grant that will cover the cost of one entire rating or license.
With The Ninety-Nines, you are in the company of friends. You receive understanding, encouragement and strength. You can participate in 99s sponsored flying activities, aviation education, and community service. When you receive your license, you are eligible to join as a full member, ready to help others coming in as students. So come join us and truly understand the magic of women pilots.
A must have for any student pilot is a subscription to Flight Training Magazine. The first 6 months are FREE to you as an introductory gift, so you may as well sign up! It's like a CFI in your mailbox every month. Visit Flight Training Magazine for more information-it's excellent!
