South County Airport Pilots Association

SCAPA Membership Meeting
2026-04-18 11:00 - 12:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | San Martin Airport (E16)
SCAPA will be holding a general membership meeting on April 18 from 11:00 AM–12:00 PM in the County terminal building (trailer).
During this meeting, we will be:
* Holding elections for SCAPA officer positions
* Discussing what members want to get out of SCAPA moving forward
* Gathering input to help guide the organization’s future direction
Your voice matters, and this is a great opportunity to be part of that conversation.
We also have several board positions open, and we’re actively looking for members who are interested in volunteering. If you’d like to help shape the direction of SCAPA or simply learn more about what serving entails, please reach out to me directly. We need engaged members willing to step up and help move SCAPA forward.
To be eligible to vote in the upcoming elections, you must be a current member in good standing. You can pay your dues at www.scpilots.org by navigating to Membership > Pay Dues. Memberships are $50/year.

Unleaded Avgas Update with Mike Luvara
2026-06-27 11:00 - 13:00
Join us on Saturday, June 27 at 11:00 AM at the County Terminal for a special presentation on the unleaded avgas transition. Our guest speaker is Michael Luvara, an engineer and test pilot based at Reid-Hillview Airport with a background in telemetry, avionics, and flight test. Mike has been conducting independent materials compatibility testing on the leading unleaded fuel candidates — and publicly sharing his findings to support the safety and airworthiness of the GA fleet. He’ll cover what he’s learned about O-ring, paint, and fuel bladder compatibility, what OEM advisories actually mean for your airplane, and where things stand in the broader transition away from 100LL. There will be time for Q&A, so bring your questions. This is a free event and open to all airport tenants and pilots — hope to see you there.
