DescriptionGeneral aviation pilots throughout the United States rely on the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) to protect their freedom to fly. Serving approximately 400,000 members in 2011, AOPA advocates for the interests of general aviation pilots at all levels of government, provides the information pilots need to get the most from their flying, and delivers the tools to help keep general aviation safe, fun, and affordable. AOPA also reaches beyond the flying community to help educate decision makers and the public about the value and utility of "private" aviation. AOPA's work benefits not only our members, but also the entire general aviation community by helping to ensure that GA remains a vibrant and viable form of transportation and recreation for generations to come. At the same time, AOPA provides its members with an extensive portfolio of benefits that can be loosely grouped into three areas: communication and education, advocacy, and services. Communication and Education Communicating with our members about the issues that affect their flying has always been at the heart of AOPA's mission. Today, AOPA produces two monthly magazines, numerous electronic newsletters, streaming video, multiple web sites, meetings, and events-all with the goal of educating and informing our members, the larger aviation community, and the public. AOPA Pilot is AOPA's flagship magazine, and the most widely read aviation magazine in the world. Written by pilots for pilots, each issue brings readers the latest news affecting general aviation, including coverage of governmental and regulatory issues, updates on AOPA's advocacy efforts, news from aircraft and avionics manufacturers, and more. Readers are also treated to beautifully designed feature stories about the best flying destinations for general aviation pilots, piloting techniques, aircraft ownership, cockpit technology and, of course, aircraft new and old. Regular columns address aircraft maintenance, legal issues, medical considerations, and other subjects of direct concern to pilots and aircraft owners. More than 4.2 million copies of AOPA Pilot were produced in 2011. A second monthly magazine, Flight Training, is designed specifically to meet the needs of the flight training community, including student pilots, those who are returning to flying after a hiatus, and flight instructors. With the tag line "A good pilot is always learning," the magazine places a heavy emphasis on building and enhancing the fundamental skills and knowledge every pilot must master. Flight Training presents practical information, tips, and tools in a format that is clear, understandable, and enjoyable to read. With the help of detailed, accurate illustrations and beautiful photography, Flight Training makes the complex concepts behind successful piloting easy to understand and absorb. In 2011, AOPA redesigned the magazine to increase its appeal and ease of use, and produced more than 1.3 million copies. AOPA simultaneously launched a new Web site, http://flighttraining.aopa.org/, to act as a companion to the magazine. The site enhances and supplements the magazine's editorial content and provides practical information about learning to fly for prospective and student pilots. Many AOPA members want more news, more often than monthly magazines can supply. For those members, AOPA produces several different electronic newsletters, which are available free of charge to all members. AOPA ePilot is a weekly, customizable newsletter that provides the latest general aviation and AOPA news. Delivered via e-mail, ePilot allows readers to identify their specific areas of aviation interest and then delivers specialized information and news based on those preferences. In addition, ePilot subscribers receive instant airspace alerts when special circumstances, such as temporary airspace restrictions, affect their region. In 2011, more than 277,000 readers subscribed to ePilot. Members with an interest in training may also choose to receive the Flight Training edition of AOPA ePilot. This newsletter also provides the latest news, but adds specialized training-related tips and techniques each week. Flight Training readers can also choose to customize the information they receive to coincide with their specific interests. In 2011, 103,000 readers subscribed to this special edition. AOPA's newest electronic newsletter, Aviation eBrief, delivers aviation-related news to readers each weekday. By bringing together aviation news from a variety of media outlets, Aviation eBrief provides readers with a big-picture overview of what is happening in the aviation world. Aviation eBrief is available free of charge to both AOPA members and non-members who have an interest in the issues affecting general aviation. In 2011 more than 214,000 individuals subscribed to Aviation eBrief, including more than 36,000 non-members. AOPA also communicates with and educates its members by providing both unparalleled breadth and depth of online resources-resources that are continuously being updated to improve their compatibility with smart phones and mobile devices across multiple platforms. AOPA Online gives members round-the-clock access to news, information, flight planning resources, aircraft ownership tools, and more. In 2011 alone, more than 3.6 million visitors accessed more than 50 million pages of information through www.AOPA.org. Through AOPA Live, AOPA's online streaming media outlet, members and others can watch interviews with the most influential and dynamic figures in aviation. With continuing coverage of important issues and aviation events, AOPA Live features a growing library of interviews with a variety of aviation leaders and inspirational figures, including the FAA administrator, congressmen, airshow performers, CEOs of major aviation companies, association leaders from across the aviation spectrum, and dozens of others. In 2011, AOPA Live videos were viewed more than 1 million times for more than 109,000 hours of play time. Among the valuable tools available exclusively to AOPA members through AOPA Online is the Internet-based flight planner. Members can quickly and accurately prepare and file a flight plan anywhere they have Internet access. Members can also find aviation weather reports, fuel prices, the latest security and airspace information, and other tools to help them plan flights that are efficient, safe, and enjoyable. With AOPA Airports, also accessible through AOPA Online, members can find everything they need to know about potential destinations and fuel stops. Updated daily, the directory is the most comprehensive of its kind, bringing together airport information, runway diagrams, instrument approach plates, maintenance information, radio frequencies, flight service station telephone numbers, and more. The directory also provides practical tools to help members get the most out of a visit to any airport, including contact information for on-airport businesses such as fixed-base operators, flight schools, and repair facilities as well as information about local restaurants, hotels, car rentals, and attractions. Other resources available online include assistance with valuing and purchasing an aircraft, aviation medical information and tools to help pilots prepare for their next medical exam, guidelines for international flying, regulatory and airworthiness information, aviation classifieds, and aircraft and avionics reviews. Online visitors can also stay up to date with AOPA's advocacy efforts at the federal, state, and local levels. Pilots can use the site to find their local AOPA Airport Support Network volunteer or become volunteers themselves. AOPA members can also learn more about the work of AOPA's Political Action Committee and its support for candidates who represent the interests and concerns of AOPA's members and the general aviation community as a whole. For newcomers to flying, AOPA Online offers detailed information about the process and requirements for learning to fly, help finding a flight instructor and aviation medical examiner, an in-depth guide to choosing a training aircraft, and information about aviation careers. Pilots with more experience may want to take advantage of information about earning advanced ratings and certificates as well as transitioning to high performance aircraft, turboprops, and jets. For children, AOPA Online offers a collection of youth education resources that link aviation to math, science, physics, history, and technology. In addition to the online products, printed materials are available to teachers and pilots at no charge. All pilots can take advantage of AOPA Online to access the safety and training materials available at no charge through the AOPA Air Safety Institute. With interactive courses, quizzes, safety research, and more, the AOPA Air Safety Institute provides pilots with engaging ways to stay proficient and keep up-to-date with the changing aviation envirDescription

In addition, certain directors and officers received first class air travel, travel for companions as well as tax indemnification payments. It is the Organization's policy to treat the above items as taxable compensation and report the applicable amounts to the IRS on Form W-2 or Form 1099-Misc. for the applicable tax year.
Part II, Compensation InformationTHE COMPENSATION LEVELS AND SALARY RANGES FOR OFFICERS AND KEY EMPLOYEES OF THE ORGANIZATION ARE ESTABLISHED BASED ON COMPETITIVE MARKET DATA OBTAINED THROUGH PERIODIC SALARY SURVEYS PERFORMED BY OUTSIDE COMPENSATION EXPERTS ENGAGED BY THE ORGANIZATION. THESE SURVEYS PROVIDE GUIDANCE FOR ESTABLISHING REASONABLE COMPENSATION RATES AS COMPARED TO COMPENSATION PAID BY SIMILARLY SITUATED ORGANIZATIONS FOR POSITIONS OF SIMILAR SCOPE OF RESPONSIBILITY. ALL POSITIONS ARE EVALUATED AND PLACED IN THE APPROPRIATE GRADES/SALARY RANGES. AN INDIVIDUAL EMPLOYEE'S SALARY, WITHIN THEIR ASSIGNED RANGE, VARIES DEPENDING PRIMARILY UPON EXPERIENCE AND PERFORMANCE. THE ORGANIZATION HAS ADOPTED A "PAY FOR PERFORMANCE" PHILOSOPHY ALLOWING MANAGERS TO AWARD MERIT INCREASES BASED ON AN INDIVIDUAL'S PERFORMANCE AGAINST PRE-ESTABLISHED GOALS. THE ORGANIZATION'S ANNUAL MERIT INCREASE BUDGET IS APPROVED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES BASED ON MARKET SURVEYS. OFFICERS AND KEY EMPLOYEES ALSO PARTICIPATE IN THE ORGANIZATION'S BONUS PROGRAM. TARGET BONUS AMOUNTS, AS A PERCENTAGE OF BASE SALARY, ARE ESTABLISHED BASED ON THE PARTICIPANT'S POSITION. THE ACTUAL BONUS PAID IS PROPOSED BY THE EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT TEAM AND THE PRESIDENT BASED ON THEIR ASSESSMENT OF THE PARTICIPANT'S INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE AND THAT OF THE ORGANIZATION AGAINST PRE-ESTABLISHED GOALS. THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REVIEW AND MAKE A FINAL DETERMINATION AS TO THE ACTUAL BONUS AMOUNT PAID TO PARTICIPANTS. ALL PERSONS MENTIONED ABOVE DO NOT PARTICIPATE IN THE DELIBERATION OF THEIR COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENT. THE DELIBERATIONS AND DECISIONS OF THESE COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENTS ARE MAINTAINED IN CONTEMPORANEOUS DOCUMENTATION WITH OUR HUMAN RESOURCEs DEPARTMENT. During 2011, the following participated in a 457F deferred compensation Plan with the following amounts which are included on Schedule J, Part II, Column C: Melissa Rudinger = $30,750 and Robert Moran = $40,500. Phil Boyer received distributions of $774,251 and Diana Roberts received distributions of $298,461 (includes employee compensation deferral) from 457F plans and included on Schedule J, Part II, Column B(iii). The 457F Plan is a deferred compensation plan where the employer makes annual contributions over several years, determined by participant's years of service. AOPA is the owner of the 457F funds until the participant(s) become vested on a specific date. There were several listed individuals on Schedule J whose compensation and/or benefits changed due to the following: -Phil Boyer, former president: received payment from a retirement plan for his years of service in the amount of $774,251. As shown in column F, $525,000 of that distribution amount was recognized in column c in previous years. -Roger Myers, Former CFO: compensation and/or benefits increased due to received payout of Paid Time Off balance and earning a bonus payment as well as deferred compensation represented severance and contractor fee to be paid in 2012. -Robert Moran, COO: compensation and/or benefits increased due to earning a bonus payment for 2010 performance paid in 2011 compared to none paid in 2010.
