CIAM

The Belgian Aeromodelers League closely follows the recommendations of the CIAM, the governing body of the FAI. All Belgian aeromodeling competitions are primarily organised according to the Sporting code of the FAI, section 4. An up-to-date version of the code is available here. Please find here the recent documents from the CIAM annual meeting, as well as the International Sporting Calendar

Terms of reference

For all matters, the Sports Commission refers to the Internal Rules of the Belgian Aeromodeling League Duties

• Approval of the selection criteria put forward by each section for the designation of the members of the Belgian delegation at the next FAI World or Continental championships
