Our chapter publishes a monthly newsletter that is distributed each month, just prior to our monthly meeting. You can sign up for our newsletter right from our home page of eaa302.org or clicking here: Sign-up for the monthly newsletter

Keith Pache is our Chapter's event coordinator and Keith publishes a monthly events calendar that is posted on our website. Keith researches aviation events that are happening all over and updates the calendar on a monthly basis. You can always find something happening this weekend.

We also highly encourage our members and guests to come to our monthly meetings. They are held on the second Saturday of each month at the Galaxy FBO, starting at 10:00 am. At these monthly gatherings, you can meet other builders, pilots and any number of aviation enthusiasts to include CFI's, Tech Counselors and Flight Advisors.

Does EAA 302 offer Young Eagles Flights?

Yes, EAA 302 is very committed to the Young Eagles program and we boost ourselves as one of the largest participating chapters in the country.

EAA 302 has our dedicated Young Eagles coordinator, Dean Marcott. Dean is an experienced coordinator that runs several rallies in the spring and several more in the fall.

Our Chapter's member pilots volunteer their time, their plane and the fuel to offer an amazing experience to the next generation of young aviation enthusiasts.

Be sure to check out our Young Eagles Page where you can sign-up for our next rally and if you are a pilot, please look into volunteering to be a Young Eagles pilot.

Do you offer flight training?

No, EAA 302 does not offer flight training as we are not a flight school. Conroe Airport currently consists of 5 Flight Schools that offer professional flight training that can help you achieve the pilot ratings you are looking for. Close to Conroe Airport is David Wayne Hooks Airport, Huntsville Airport and Cleveland Airport. These airports also have flight schools available to assist you.

Brand new to flying? Not sure where to begin? EAA 302 membership consists of many pilots, of which, several have their Certified Flight Instructor ratings and we have a few Flight Advisors in the chapter as well. Come on out to one of our monthly gatherings and meet them. Many of them are more than happy to chat with you and answer your questions.
