Members are represented in FAI by their National Airsport Control. With more than 90 members, FAI brings together at international level representatives of all air sport disciplines.
FAI members are categorised as follows (as per FAI Statutes):
- Active Members, being those organisations which represent all the disciplines practised in their respective country,
- Associate Members, which represent only one discipline. There can be no more than three associate members in a given country without their forming a national organisation and becoming an Active Member,
- Temporary Members, being those national organisations which intend to become an Active or Associate Member of FAI but are not yet in a position to fulfill all the rights and duties of those members,
- International Affiliate Members, other international organisations sharing common goals with FAI.
The FAI also recognises entities with a regional scope called "FAI recognised organisations".
Almost all of our volunteers must first be nominated by the FAI Members in their countries in order to stand for election or accept a nomination.
