Membership Dues
Four membership types are available with different member benefits and dues:
Formation: Annual dues $80 ($100 if renewed after expiration date)
Regular: Annual dues $50 ($65 if renewed after expiration date)
Basic: Annual dues $35 ($45 if renewed after expiration date)
Lifetime: $1,000 one-time payment.
International members (Regular and Formation only) will also be charged an annual postage premium: Canada $10 and other international $25.
All amounts are in US Dollars, and are preferably paid online by credit card. Members may also join or renew online, print an invoice, and mail a check.
Membership Policy Changes
Our renewal policies have changed since 2016 to better serve the membership.
Renewal Dates
Until early 2016 all members were on a quarterly renewal basis. In July 2016 we began to shift formation members to a year-end renewal schedule to align with the issuance of annual FAST credentials at year-end. Some Regular members may also find themselves on a year-end renewal. New Regular and Basic members will renew on their join anniversary (annually). New Formation memberships will be adjusted to a year-end renewal (after joining or converting), and their next renewal dues will be prorated by applying a credit for the truncated prior year membership.
Membership Cards
Cards are no longer issued to new members. Instead, a digital card may be downloaded from the member profile at any time; please visit flynata.org/cards for more information.
Formation Credentials
Until mid-2016, NATA issued a separate FAST card to eligible members annually. FAST formation qualifications are now shown on our membership cards (there is a single, combination NATA membership/FAST card). Formation membership cards are reissued only when formation members meet all the proficiency requirements (view our
FPR Policy). Beginning in 2024, NATA only issues digital cards, which may be downloaded from the member profile at any time; please visit
flynata.org/cards for more information.
Late Fees
A late fee is now charged when members renew after their expiration date. This fee will automatically be added to the balance due at the time of renewal.
