About
A friendly, thriving aviation & flightsim community.
The Pilot Club (TPC) is a nonprofit aviation community founded in 2021. They're an official VATSIM Partner and their members range from first-time simmers to real-world airline pilots and air traffic controllers. Their motto ("Teamwork, Passion, Community") sums up the feel.
TPC runs 20+ group flights every month, a free flight school, a virtual airline (TPC Charters), and one of the more active flight sim Discords around. Everything happens in the open: show up, say hi, fly along.
Founded by Serge. The club is run entirely by volunteers.
