Welcome to CSA...

CSA is an close-knit collection of soaring enthusiasts whose arms are always open to new members and to those who may just be curious about what soaring is all about.

Who We Are

The Coastal Soaring Association (CSA) is a private, 501(c7) non-profit organization that's dedicated to the enjoyment and promotion of the sport of soaring.

CSA is an affiliate club of the Soaring Society of America (SSA) and everyone operating CSA equipment is required to have a current SSA membership. Some of our pilots are novice students who've just started in aviation. Some are expert pilots with decades of aviation experience behind them. We currently number around 40 members.

The CSA is dedicated to training and advancing pilots beyond the basics of soaring. Whether this is your first flight or your thousandth, you're welcome in our midst.

Find us at Coastal Airport: - 20 minutes away from downtown Pensacola and 5 minutes off of I-10 Exit 5 at 6001 W 9 Mile Road, Pensacola, FL 32526

Intro Flight Gift Certificates

If you're interested in learning what flying gliders is all about --or know someone who is-- this is a great opportunity to experience the thrill of soaring like an eagle. CSA offers introductory flights that will take you through preflight, launch behind a tow plane, 20 to 30 minutes of flying, and, of course, a safe and exciting approach and landing. Intro Flight Gift Certificates are $50 each and available at Coastal Airport when we are operating (see our online schedule) or by sending a check (including your return mailing address) to

Coastal Soaring Association
P.O. Box 1502
Pensacola, FL 32591

An introductory flight also makes a great holiday, birthday, or anniversary gift for that someone special.
