[NSRCA-discussion] Model Identification for FAI starting in 2022

Wed Sep 8 16:45:01 AKDT 2021

The AMA runs as our national body and issues unique AMA #’s that differ from the FAI Sporting license numbers. Only those that are competing for a spot on the world championship teams are required to get their FAI sporting license.  This new rule would primarily effect those participating in the FAI F3A team trials, and of course those who make the team competing at the WC’s.

I suspect we will want to enforce these markings at our next team trial event in 2022.

Hi all,

Well certainly in Australia’s case, our National Body, the MAAA sits as body, as a member of the FAI (International Governing Body).

As a result, every Modeller in Australia, belonging to any club in the Nation is issued a Sporting Licence, issued by the FAI, Class F Aeromodels-Class S Space Models.

These carry our Licence Numbers. In Australia’s case, an AUS##### Number.

We have been carrying AUS numbers on our models for Decades. Yes…Decades.

Originally we used to carry VH registration numbers. The same as FULL SIZE. You can understand why this had to change.

So, I assume that the AMA is not registered with the FAI and that the US is/has been going it alone? If the AMA is part of the FAI, then why have you all not got your FAI sporting Licence? The sporting licence will have your number.

All our competitions in the US are AMA except for the world champs.  I do not believe it affects us.

Dear Subcommittee Members,
I would like to inform you about a Plenary decision which has been published since 2020 and may cause some confusion. 

C.11 IDENTIFICATION MARKS
C.11.1 Class F - Model Aircraft
a) Model aircraft, except for Indoor Free Flight and Scale, shall carry:
i) The national identification mark followed by the FAI Unique ID number. The letters and numbers
must be at least 25 mm high and appear at least once on each model (on the upper surface of
a wing for Free Flight models).
Note: The list of the national identification marks (3 letters per country) is downloadable from
“Documents” section of the CIAM website http://www.fai.org/ciam-documents <http://www.fai.org/ciam-documents>.
Note: The mandatory carrying of the FAI ID number shall commence in 2022.

During the last years competitors could use National Licence number or FAI ID. From 2022 the unique FAI ID is mandatory. Pilots need to display Country Code and FAI ID on their planes, if they want to take part in an FAI competition. 
National licence number caused a lot of confusion because there sometimes were competitors who had more than one. The FAI ID is unique. Whenever anybody had one, he will have it forever, even if the licence isn't valid. 
Have a look at an example:

This is noted in the FAI database about my license valid in 2017:
<bicgblhcdfgehfie.png>

<gegnihdhmejnekgd.png>
On my former models I needed GER 384 Country Code+NAC License Number for FAI competitons.
From 2022 GER 19233 is necessary. Country Code+FAI ID. 
May be the NACs will demand to have national numbers on the model for national competitions. But everbody who normally has received an FAI License, has received it via his national federation. So in my opinion the FAI ID may be sufficient for national competitions, too. But this is on behalf of the NACs not to complicate the case. They should use the FAI card above fro printouts. On some licenses issued by some NACs important FAI ID is missing. This should be changed.
Organizers should accept only FAI ID for registration. With an excel file with only these numbers, the FAI Jury can check the validity in very easy way without entering each name into the database.

Please inform the competition pilots and the organizers in your countries to avoid problems at FAI competitions!

Kind regards
Peter
