Add or switch your membership to the Enhanced Digital Edition today.

How does it work?

If you add the AOPA Pilot or Flight Training Enhanced Digital Edition to your membership, or switch your print subscription, each month you will receive an e-mail message when the next digital issue of your magazine is ready. Click on the links provided and the Enhanced Digital Edition will open in your Web browser, or download our Android or iOS app to access your magazine on a tablet or smartphone. Many articles have accompanying videos, slideshows, or other multimedia features; just tap or click on the icon.

You must be a digital subscriber to access the Enhanced Digital Edition. Digital subscribers can log in using their AOPA website username and password. If you do not remember your AOPA website username and password, click here to reset them. Please note, this will reset your password for AOPA Online as well as your Enhanced Digital Edition. If you have an iPad or other iOS device, download the free AOPA Mags app from the iTunes store and log into the app, using your AOPA website username and password. If you have an Android tablet or smartphone, download the free AOPA Mags app from Google Play. A user guide for the app is available online.

How much does it cost?

If you want to switch your membership from the print edition of a magazine to the Enhanced Digital Edition, there is no additional charge. If you wish to receive both the Enhanced Digital Edition and your existing print magazine, the cost is $10 per year.

Can I try it out before I decide?

Of course! Links to recent digital editions are available at the top of our AOPA Digital editions webpage; click here to check them out.

What will happen to the print magazine?

Absolutely nothing. You can continue to receive the print magazine, or switch back to it at any time. Many pilots frequently are on the go, and Enhanced Digital Editions are simply another channel through which AOPA can deliver its award-winning content to members who prefer to receive it electronically.

Can I access it on my iPad or iPhone?

Yes! The AOPA Mags app provides easy access to the Enhanced Digital Editions of AOPA Pilot and Flight Training magazines on your iPad, iPhone and other iOS devices. The app allows downloading and offline reading of your magazines, with simple and intuitive navigation, although you will need an Internet connection to view videos, slideshows, and other extended content. Digital subscribers can download the free app from Apple's App Store here.

CAN I ACCESS IT ON MY ANDROID TABLET OR PHONE?

The AOPA Mags app for Android provides easy access to the Enhanced Digital Editions of AOPA Pilot and Flight Training magazines on your Android tablet or phone. The app allows downloading and offline reading of your magazines, with simple and intuitive navigation, although you will need an Internet connection to view videos, slideshows, and other extended content. Digital subscribers can download the free app from Google Play here.

What about the Kindle or Nook?

We are not yet offering AOPA Pilot or Flight Training on the Kindle or Nook because of unanticipated distribution issues—we would have to institute a per-copy charge for distribution, and could not limit distribution to AOPA members. Our team is investigating possible solutions to this issue. If you're a Kindle user, please tell us what you think.

Need help?
