Welcome to the website for Lady Pilots!
As of 2010, there were 42,218 FAA certified lady pilots (36,808 in
2009), just six percent of the total pilot population! This includes 5,600 ATP certified lady pilots - an
elite group indeed! I am happy to be part of that group and the pilot population as a whole. Enjoy!
Thanks for visiting!

for there you have been,
and there you will always long
to return."
