COPA Flight 36 YLW - is essentially the local expression of the Canadian Owners & Pilots Association.

- As an organization, COPA represents a wide spectrum of needs and services unique to “pilots and owners” in every province and territory within the “General Aviation” umbrella – which covers all civil aviation except airline operations - https://copanational.org/en/mission-statement/
- Kelowna Flying Club interacts with COPA in a unique “hand-in-glove” synergistic way – a compatible win-win relationship. This seamless, interactive “marriage” accomplishes much – all with mutual benefit flowing back and forth - in and out, in a spirit of collaboration which is quite unique between aviation organizations. If just two words could sum up this collabrotive relationship they would be: Advocacy form COPA National - and Representation by Kelowna Flying Club.
