FF: Thanks. I am aware of various forms of 'not for profit' organizations, but in this case Bose says it is not owneed by members and AOPA UK's web site says it is.
No I said it is not owned in the way that a club like Leicester is. Before misquoting me read what I wrote. To join Leicester Aero Club, you have to be proposed and seconded and go before the committee. You become jointly liable for the debts of the club to a set limit and if you want to leave the club you must formally resign. The club is run by a council of management that is elected formally every year by a majority vote of the membership.
The way AOPA is constituted you can join and leave at your discretion etc.
The AOPA Company is:
British Light Aviation Centre Limited.
