Annual Report to FAI General Conference 2004-2005
Thursday, 08 September 2005 17:42
The last year has been one of mixed fortunes for the Commission. In some respects we have not been able to achieve the targets which we set ourselves. 2005 is the year in which our World Championship series falls. Previously we accepted a bid from the United Kingdom subject to the verification of several important matters, particularly the final entry fee, insurance and the signing of the Organisers Agreement. This resulted nine months before the scheduled date in a revised offer to Host the event, behind closed doors, with no insurance cover. This was unacceptable to the Commission. The French Helicopter Federation stepped in and offered to Host the 2005 Championship at very short notice for which they should be complimented upon particularly as they had a little under six months to complete their arrangements. Class E (Rotorcraft) Record Ratified.

Commission Funds The Commission’s Funds held by FAI are in US$. The Bureau has considered the depreciation in its funds due to the weakness of the dollar. Having taken financial advice, the Bureau has decided that the Commission Funds be held in Swiss Francs, a more stable currency. The existing funds have now been transferred. In future the Commission’s transactions will be in Swiss Francs (CHF).
