The Chapter is a non-profit, volunteer organization dedicated to the promotion and enjoyment of sport/recreational aviation. We pursue this goal through a variety of educational activities and programs for amateur aircraft builders and other aviation enthusiasts.

Since the closure of Coronado Airport in 2002, the Chapter holds monthly meetings the third Tuesday of the month at the JB Family Restaurant, 15 Hotel Circle (Eubank & I-40), Albuquerque, NM.   These meetings feature: presentations on many aspects of aviation, resource sharing by pilots and builders, and a friendly get-together for members and visitors. 

We hold our Annual Pot-Luck Barbeque in July and the Land of Enchantment Fly-In in September, at the Moriarty Municipal Airport (K0E0).  During the year we sponsor Young Eagles Rallys at Double Eagle II Airport (KAEG), Moriarty Municipal Airport (K0E0), and Belen Alexander Airport (KE80).
