About Us
Queensland Sports Aviators (QSA) represents the interest of all Sports Aviation Federation of Australia members and SAFA-affiliated sports aviation clubs from the NSW border to the Central Queensland city of Rockhampton. The Management Committee that makes up QSA are a group of volunteers who are passionate about sport aviation.
One of our main tasks is to distribute the Regional Development Funds (RDLs)
RDLs that are collected by SAFA when we all renew our SAFA memberships, so that the funds benefit the sport in our region.
Currently, a large proportion of the funds are distributed to the clubs, to foster their activities (see Clubs). We also offer project grants for which every pilot can apply to foster the sport (see Grants). QSA only retains a small operating budget of these funds each year to administer the benefits to the sport.
Our activities include:
- Representing our aviation interests with key State and Regional stakeholders
- Distribution to clubs of Regional Development Levy funds, collected annually by SAFA and passed to QSA
- Supporting safety programs for our pilots.
- Supporting our clubs and their members
- Supporting our training schools throughout our area of operation
- Promoting our unique aviation forms to the broader Queensland public
- Encouraging Queenslanders to engage with our training schools & enjoy an exhilarating aviation experience
- Supporting the Sports Aviation Federation of Australia (SAFA) and its governance of our aviation forms
- Supporting the efforts of our clubs to grow our sport
- Working with organisations to secure funding that supports the growth of our sport
- Representing our interests in Queensland with aviation regulators and industry forums
- Finally, and most importantly, we offer Exhilaration Aviation!
