How is an inactive AAS member described?

An inactive member of the Arnold Air Society is described as someone who wishes to remain inactive but maintains good standing within the organization. This status reflects a member's choice to step back from active participation, perhaps due to personal circumstances such as academic commitments or other responsibilities, while still adhering to the guidelines and requirements that keep them in good standing with the organization.

Maintaining good standing is important, as it allows these members the option to return to active participation in the future without the need to reapply or go through the candidacy process again. This approach balances personal needs with the ongoing commitment to AAS values and responsibilities.

The other choices do not accurately convey the status of an inactive member. For instance, being a member not in good standing implies a violation of rules or responsibilities, while being expelled indicates a complete removal from the organization, which is entirely different from simply being inactive.
