Representing Embry-Riddle's Daytona Beach campus, the Eagles Flight Team competes at the annual National Intercollegiate Flying Association's (NIFA) SAFECON competitions.


The events that we compete in are not aerobatic, but instead are precision flying and knowledge events. 
These events help develop a pilot's ability to fly  an airplane in a safe and competent manner. The team has weekly practices of all events and has the honor to fly the University's Cessna 172s.


The team is active outside of competition as well. We also volunteer for community and campus projects, as well as help contribute to the safety and quality of aviation in our area.
Anyone can be a member of the Eagles Flight Team. There is no minimum flight time, experience, or rating requirements to become a member of the team (however, some events do have specific requirements).

Mission Statement: The Eagles Flight Team is dedicated to the promotion of aviation excellence through teamwork, professionalism, and safety in a collegiate competition atmosphere.
