Promotion of environmental awareness in air sports

The FAI is committed to protect the natural environment and to encourage its members to take environmental protection into account when practising air sports.

The FAI is working to ensure that these detailed codes of conduct for each of the air sports are implemented by its members.

The FAI on behalf of all air sport practitioners declares that:

  • Everybody has a duty of care towards nature and the environment, but also has a right to enjoy the beauty of nature and to seek recreation in natural surroundings.
  • Air sports are closely bound to nature and those who fly have a right to enjoy nature in their own way
  • The air sport community therefore has an interest in maintaining and protecting the environment.
  • Suitable areas need to be opened and maintained in sufficient numbers for the practice of air sports.
