EVENTS OVERVIEW

PMOPA members enjoy gathering in person to share their passion for aviation and their PA-46 aircraft, learning from each other, and building community. PMOPA hosts a variety of events throughout the year, from local gatherings to an international convention. We look forward to welcoming you at an event soon! Check out all of our activities on the PMOPA Events Calendar.

CONVENTION

Each year, hundreds of PMOPA members gather for a long weekend packed with educational programming specifically tailored to owners and pilots of Piper PA-46 aircraft. The Convention typically kicks-off with a golf tournament and a pre-convention safety workshop on Thursday, followed by a Welcome Reception. Friday and Saturday feature content-rich education sessions and an exhibit hall with top-quality vendors serving PA-46 owners. The Convention also features a Silent and Live Auction and Gala  to support the PMOPA Safety & Education Foundation.

The 2023 PMOPA Convention was held August 31 - September 3, 2023 at The Broadmoor Resort in Colorado Springs, CO.   

REGIONAL EVENTS

New in 2023, PMOPA launched Regional Events which are shorter weekend events that feature an optional visit to a Piper Approved Service Center, and officially opens with a Welcome Reception; education and activities offered on Saturday and Sunday, a dinner is Saturday evening, and departures are on Sunday afternoon.

FLY-OUTS

 2023 Caribbean Fly-out

PMOPA members in the Caribbean - Winter 2023

Have PA-46; will travel! PMOPA volunteers identify interesting and appealing destinations for fly-out activities. These are multi-day trips to a vacation destination, providing an excellent reason to fly your plane and the opportunity to get to know your fellow PMOPA members in a relaxing setting. In 2023,  54 members flew in 22 aircraft to the Caribbean, an event facilitated by PMOPA and Jim Parker with Caribbean Flying Adventures. More fly-out opportunities are under development for 2024. Fly Out with PMOPA!

LOCAL GATHERINGS

There is no need to wait for an official PMOPA event - members are welcome and encouraged to facilitate local gatherings. Members may meet up for lunch or another activity of their choosing. PMOPA staff will assist by facilitating announcements to the membership in the area, as well as creating an event registration page to track attendee interest. Contact PMOPA's Chief Executive Officer, Mike Nichols, to arrange a local gathering in your area.
