FAI Awards and Distinctions
FAI medals and diplomas aim at giving public recognition to those who have made outstanding contributions to aeronautics and astronautics, especially in the field of sporting aviation. They are awarded each year at the Opening Ceremony of the annual FAI General Conference. Many of the recipients honoured have had their names closely associated with the history and developments of aeronautics and astronautics.
PROCEDURES GOVERNING FAI AWARDS
The procedures governing nominations for FAI Medals and Diplomas are published in chapters 10 to 12 of the By-Laws to the FAI Statutes.
