Don't Leave the Ground Without AOPA's Pilot Protection Services

As disciplined and meticulous pilots, we’re always striving to achieve that perfect flight from engine startup to shut down. However, even the most experienced pilot can get distracted by a passenger or have a momentary bout of information overload while trying to copy an amended clearance on climb out, resulting in an inadvertent deviation from an ATC instruction that ultimately gets the attention of the FAA.

AOPA’s Pilot Protection Services knows that your pilot and medical certificates mean everything to you, and that’s why our trusted Legal Services Plan attorneys and Medical Certification Specialists are here to help protect them when things don’t go as planned.

AOPA's Legal Services Plan*

  • Unlimited consultation by phone with AOPA’s in-house staff attorneys regarding any aviation-related legal issue, including Part 135 Operations;
  • Legal representation in FAA enforcement actions to suspend or revoke your certificates;
  • Aviation-related accident/incident coverage;
  • Alcohol and drug testing coverage in connection with your flight activities;
  • Representation in administrative proceedings regarding US Customs and Transportation Security Administration (TSA) violations and much more!

AOPA’s Medical Certification Services

  • We can also discuss how a recent medical diagnosis could impact your ability to fly.
