FAI
As a founding member of the Fédération Aéronautique
Internationale, NAA maintains a close and professional
association with this world governing body of air sports.
Based in Lausanne, Switzerland, the organization is made
up of nearly 100 member countries and was founded in
1905. As the world air sports federation, FAI oversees
all air sport activity throughout the world, establishing
rules for the certification of records and air sport events
around the world and conferring medals and diplomas to
deserving members of the aviation community.
Jonathan Gaffney is a Vice-President of FAI and Art
Greenfield served as Vice-President and Secretary of the
FAI General Aviation Commission.
In 2010, NAA participated in a number of important FAI
projects and events, including participation in the FAI
General Conference in Dublin, Ireland and the General
Aviation Commission meeting in Lausanne, Switzerland.
Working with its affiliated Air Sport Organizations, we
designated 26 Americans for assignment on 14 different
FAI air sport and technical commissions.
