The Australian Federation of Air Pilots (AFAP) is a professional association and industrial organisation for commercial pilots in Australia.
As a professional association, it provides pilots the opportunity to meet and discuss aviation-related matters. Its Technical Committee is involved in the development of Australian and international aviation safety standards.
As an industrial organisation, its role is to improve employment conditions for its members, including collective bargaining—negotiating labour contracts, representing members involved in a dispute with their employer or in the event of an accident or incident.
Its stated mission is to "represent and promote the interests of Australian professional flight crew and to champion the highest possible standards of aviation safety."
AFAP-represented pilots work in general aviation and flight instruction, crop dusting, aeromedical services and fly for regional and international airlines. Its representation encompasses most Australian commercial pilots who serve in a professional capacity, with the notable exception of Qantas' mainline pilots, who are represented by the Australian and International Pilots Association (AIPA). AFAP are founding members of the International Federation of Air Line Pilots' Associations.
