Our Mission
The Lake Hood Pilots Association was formed to promote safe and secure general aviation operations at Lake Hood in Anchorage, Alaska. We exist to promote and encourage the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities to conduct fair, and equable management of airport land use including permit and lease aircraft parking, to provide a measured, constructive, and focused voice for the general aviation pilots of Lake Hood, and to promote a sense of community among the aircraft users of Lake Hood.
