Our govenment is here to help us. So here's some places... wait...
you don't believe our govenment is here to help us? OK, I'll put
some non-governmental organizations first. However, the fact is
in my experience with aviation related governmental agencies, they're
just not that bad. Sure, there are some large issues of contention.
But on a practical basis, the dealings I've had with FAA personnel
or NWS weather personnel have been far better than any other government
agencies. (Consider your state DMV or your federal IRS friends.)
The aviation people are ok as far as I'm concerned.
Order aviation charts and publications directly from the source.
The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association. (AOPA)
If you're a pilot you should be a member. This is the largest
organization looking out for our collective interests. If you're
not supporting it, you're not supporting your priviledge to
fly.
The Experimental Aviation Association, (EAA) Helping
people build and fly light airplanes.
