The North Dakota Airport Passport Program is supported by the ND Aeronautics Commission. The program promotes safety and education by encouraging recreational flight to all of North Dakota’s public-use airports. It also supports general aviation airports, area businesses and tourism. Any licensed pilot, from any state, may participate. Pilots may earn three different levels (bronze/silver/gold) of recognition awards by flying into airports, attending safety seminars and visiting North Dakota’s aviation museums.
AOPA App version 2.6.5 or newer is required to participate in the program.
The North Dakota Airport Passport Program requires participants to check-in by flying to a qualifying airport or checking in to other activities. Awards will be offered for those who collect a certain number of airport check-ins. View official rules of the North Dakota Airport Passport Program here.
