FAI Sporting Licences

It is a requirement for record and overseas competition flights that the pilot-in-command be the holder of a Sporting Licence issued by the National Aerosport Control (NAC).  In New Zealand this is the Royal New Zealand Aero Club (RNZAC) Inc.  A current member of GNZ is deemed to hold a Sporting Licence for flights within New Zealand.  The member’s GNZ Central Register number should be quoted in situations where the Sporting Licence number is required.

Pilots should note that their Sporting Licence will not be recognised as valid until the FAI has entered the details on its central database upon receipt from the RNZAC.
