Since 1905, FAI has been the only body that can sanction International
> competitions – Category 1 World and Continental Championships as well as
> Category 2 events – and recognise World Records in all forms of air
> sport.
>
> The word ‘international’ means ‘amongst nations’ and implies that when
> pilots fly in an international event, they represent the nations they
> come from.
>
> These nations belong to FAI through the FAI member organisations, known
> as the < National Air-Sport Controls (NACs) > – formerly < National Aero
> Clubs >. On payment of their FAI membership fee the NACs obtain the
> right to organise International events and to participate in any FAI
> activity (such as international competitions and record-setting).
>
> The FAI delegates to the NACs the privilege to issue FAI Sporting
> Licences. Nevertheless, these remain international licences. It is one
> of the benefits to NACs of their FAI membership that they are empowered
> to act as the agents of the international authority. The FAI rules state
> that a pilot must hold an international sporting licence to participate
> in any international sporting event. This is so that the NAC, the
> country’s air sport authority at national level, can decide who should
> represent the country internationally. These rules are not in any way
> unique to air sports. They are applied by every single international
> sporting federation, and they ensure that only pilots who are recognised
> by their NAC may represent their country internationally.
>
> The recent discussion has arisen because some NACs are charging pilots
> who wish to obtain an FAI sporting licence. We emphasize that this
> problem does not originate from FAI or CIVL, neither of which makes any
> charge for FAI sporting licences. It may be the case that some NACs
> charge the pilots more than the pure administrative costs of issuing the
> licence. But it should be remembered that all the money generated in
> this way goes towards promoting flying in the pilots’ country, so this
> is an issue for you and your national association to address locally.
>
> On a practical level, some organisers already run 2 meets simultaneously
> – an A & B competition. Pilots in the A competition (which is
> internationally recognised) must have a Sporting Licence and score World
> Pilot Ranking System (WPRS) points, whilst those in the B competition
> (which has national status only) fly alongside them, but their scores
> are not counted for WPRS points. So it is the pilots’ choice. If you
> want to encourage new pilots and have less formality, they can fly in a
> < B > competition with very little extra effort for the organiser.
>
> The “penalty” fee imposed on organisers was a way of encouraging meet
> directors to check licences, without hurting pilots who did have
> licences.
>
> We have recognised that the WPRS needs some revision, and we are now in
> the process of reviewing the system. The “new” system is running in
> tandem with the “old” system and very shortly a discussion board will be
> set up to consider the ramifications and any proposed alterations.
>
> In any sport, there are various levels of competition. Often, there are
> club competitions, inter-club competitions, national level competitions,
> and Open International competitions, as well as World and Continental
> Championships. The lower levels do not require international sporting
> licences, but all international contests must be at least Category 2
> events to be formally recognised. Organisers may choose to combine these
> with their Nationals (as Category 2 Open International events), and for
> these contests pilots must have an FAI Sporting Licence. It is not in
> any way the aim of CIVL to discourage pilots at lower levels, quite the
> opposite, but
> merely to make a level playing field for everyone at international
> level.
