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

<span class="fontstyle0">C.11.1 Class F - Model Aircraft</span><br>
<span class="fontstyle2">a) Model aircraft, except for Indoor Free Flight and Scale, shall carry:</span><br>
<span class="fontstyle2">i) The <b>national identification mark followed by the FAI Unique ID number</b>. The letters and numbers</span><br>
<span class="fontstyle2">must be at least 25 mm high and appear at least once on each model (on the upper surface of</span><br>
<span class="fontstyle2">a wing for Free Flight models).</span><br>
<span class="fontstyle3">Note: The list of the national identification marks (3 letters per country) is downloadable from</span><br>
<span class="fontstyle3">“Documents” section of the CIAM website <a href="http://www.fai.org/ciam-documents" target="_blank">
http://www.fai.org/ciam-documents</a>.</span><br>
<span class="fontstyle3">Note: The mandatory carrying of the FAI ID number shall commence in 2022.</span><br>
<br>
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">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.
<br>
National licence number caused a lot of confusion because there sometimes were competitors who had more than one.
<b>The FAI ID is unique. </b>Whenever anybody had one, he will have it forever, even if the licence isn't valid.
<br>
Have a look at an example:<br>
<br>
This is noted in the FAI database about my license valid in 2017:<br>
<bicgblhcdfgehfie.png><br>
<br>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">On my former models I needed GER 384 Country Code+NAC License Number for FAI competitons.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">From 2022
<b><u>GER 19233</u></b> is necessary. <b><u>Country Code+FAI ID. </u></b><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">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.<br>
<br>
Please inform the competition pilots and the organizers in your countries to avoid problems at FAI competitions!<br>
<br>
Kind regards<br>
