The American Pilots’ Association (APA), one of the country’s oldest trade associations, has been the national association for the piloting profession since 1884.

We do not put videos of accidents on our website out of voyeurism. We would like to point out that the work of a pilot is always dangerous, especially when embarking and disembarking!

Dear pilots, please always be mindful and always think of your safety!
