Expert System
In 2013 the FAI Expert System, which consists of
the Experts Groups and the Technical Commissions,
continued to make progress. More and more Experts
were included to give their advice and recommendations
across awidefieldof technical andaeronautical expertise
for the benefit of the Executive Board, the FAI Members
and the Air Sport Commissions. As for the Technical
Commissions, the question of their conversions into
Expert Groups was discussed throughout the year.
Expert Groups
Since its creation in 2011, 6 Expert Groups have been set
up, involving a total of 41 experts from16 countrieswho are
workingwithclear policies, definedgoalsandstandardised
tasking and reporting procedures.
Interim reports were sent to the Executive Board in June,
while annual reports were presented to the General
Conference through speeches from the Points of Contact
of each Expert Group. News and important results can be
forwarded during the year to all FAI members.
The Experts have beenworking via emails and conference
calls with the exception of a joint meeting in Zurich,
Switzerland, where Experts from the Airspace and
NavigationGroupscouldshareknowledgeaboutUnmanned
Aircraft Systems (UAS) with external specialists.
Technical Commissions
While the FAI Airspace &Navigation Systems Commission
was dissolved in 2012, the remaining Technical
Commissions, namely EnvC (environmental matters) and
CIEA (aviation and space education) have been studying
the appropriateness of their transformation into Expert
Groups. For example, theFAI AviationandSpaceEducation
Commissionhasbeenassessing the consequencesof such
conversion and the changes anddecisions it would involve,
such as which Experts would be chosen, which projects
the Experts would be working on and which tasks would
be assigned to them.
The transformation to Expert Groups for CIEA and EnvC
is planned for 2014.
