In Europe the sporting ( FAI ) definition limits the maximum take-off weight to ( if a ballistic parachute is installed ) and a maximum stalling speed of.

The most common indication currently is for the treatment of femoroacetabular impingement ( FAI ) and its associated pathologies, however, this is by no means where it ends.

Until the formation of the Football Association of Ireland ( FAI ) in 1921, the IFA administers football throughout Ireland although participation in the 19th century is mainly centred on the Belfast area.

The IFA now governs football in Northern Ireland only and is not to be confused with the FAI which governs football in the Republic of Ireland.

Typically, there is an Fédération Aéronautique Internationale ( FAI ) world-championship class, a so-called mini class, an open class, and possibly any number of national or unofficial classes, for which regional or national competitions may be held.

The FAI glider class is F1A, also known as A / 2 or Nordic glider.

The FAI rubber class is F1B, also known as Wakefield.

The FAI power class is F1C.

Another type of powered free flight models is CO < sub > 2 </ sub > ( its FAI category is F1K ).

Another popular free flight Class is FAI category F1J which is similar to F1C however the engines are 1 / 2A Class is less than. 050 cubic inches.

The FAI is the international organising body for all air sports worldwide, including aeromodelling.

F1D models require a large space, such as a sports hall, aircraft or dirigible hangar, with the famous atrium of the West Baden Springs Hotel having been previously used for indoor free flight competitions in the United States, and there is even a salt mine in Romania underground that has hosted the FAI world F1D championships several times.

* August 28 – 31 – The 3rd FAI World Rally Flying Championship is held in Aschaffenburg, West Germany.

It is currently based with the Federación Anarquista Ibérica ( FAI ).

A Friendly Artificial Intelligence or FAI is an artificial intelligence ( AI ) that has a positive rather than negative effect on humanity.

Many supporters of FAI speculate that an AI able to reprogram and improve itself, Seed AI, is likely to create a huge power disparity between itself and statically intelligent human minds ; that its ability to enhance itself would very quickly outpace the human ability to exercise any meaningful control over it.

Stefan Pernar argues along the lines of Meno's paradox against the usefulness of Yudkowsky's approach by pointing out that attempting to solve the FAI problem is either pointless or hopeless depending on whether one assumes a universe that exhibits moral realism or not.

It should not be confused with the Football Association of Ireland ( FAI ), which is the organising body in the Republic of Ireland.

Brandenstein is a recipient of the SETP Iven C. Kincheloe Award, the AIAA Haley Space Flight Award, the Federation Aeronautique Internationale ( FAI ) Yuri Gagarin Gold Medal and the American Astronautical Society Flight Achievement Award.

The current FAI world record for largest free-fall formation is a 400-way, set on February 8, 2006 in Udon Thani, Thailand by World Team.

In recognition of this achievement, she received the Presidential Citizens Medal from President Reagan ( 1986 ), the Harmon Trophy, the FAI De la Vaulx Medal, and is the first woman to have received the Collier Trophy.

More common names include: UAV, drone, remotely piloted vehicle ( RPV ), remotely piloted aircraft ( RPA ), remotely operated aircraft ( ROA ), and for those " limited-size " ( as defined by the FAI ) unmanned aircraft flown in the USA's National Airspace System, flown solely for recreation and sport purposes such as models and radio control ( R / Cs ), which are generally flown under the voluntary safety standards of the Academy of Model Aeronautics, the United States ' national aeromodeling organization.

The Federación Anarquista Ibérica ( FAI, Iberian Anarchist Federation ) is a Spanish organization of anarchist ( anarcho-syndicalist and anarchist-communist ) militants active within affinity groups inside the Confederación Nacional del Trabajo ( CNT ) anarcho-syndicalist union.

However the FAI were granted exclusive rights to the name in 1983, and the organization officially reinstated the competition later that year.

The National Aeronautic Association of the United States ( NAA ) is a non-profit 501 ( c )( 3 ) organization and a founding member of the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale ( FAI ).

* Silver Medal: Awarded to an individual who has occupied high office in FAI or in an aeronautical organization in one of its member countries, and in the discharge of their duties have shown exceptional powers of leadership and influence, to the benefit of the whole international air sport community.

The newly liberated zones worked on entirely libertarian principles ; decisions were made through councils of ordinary citizens without any sort of bureaucracy ( it should be noted that the CNT – FAI leadership was at this time not nearly as radical as the rank and file members responsible for these sweeping changes ).

The NAA is the largest single member of FAI and is responsible for appointing representatives to 15 major air sport and technical committees of FAI.

The USA had lost the first round of the space race to the Soviets ; however, the FAI rules in 1961 required that a pilot must land safely with the spacecraft for the flight to be considered an official spaceflight.

The FAI rules in 1961 required that a pilot must land with the spacecraft to be considered an official spaceflight for the FAI record books.

The Wright brothers flights in 1903 are recognized by the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale ( FAI ), the standard setting and record-keeping body for aeronautics, as " the first sustained and controlled heavier-than-air powered flight ".

According to the Guinness book of records, Eugene Andreev ( USSR ) holds the official FAI record for the longest free-fall parachute jump ( without drogue chute ) after falling for 80, 380 ft ( 24, 500 m ) from an altitude of 83, 523 ft ( 25, 457 m ) near the city of Saratov, Russia on 1 November 1962.

* FAI The Federation Aeronautique Internationale — The international governing body for all airborne sports.

* Soccer: In December 2005 the town's soccer team, Drogheda United, won the FAI Cup for the first time.

In addition to his pioneering work in airships, on 23 October 1906 Santos-Dumont, flew the 14-bis or Oiseau de proie ( French for " bird of prey "), the first flight of an airplane to be witnessed by the European press and certified by the Aéro Club de France and the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale ( FAI ).

* He 111 U: A spurious designation applied for propaganda purposes to the Heinkel He 119 high-speed reconnaissance bomber design which set an FAI record in November 1937.

Within the competition classification codes specified by the FAI, free flight aeromodeling gets the generic code of F1, where the " F " stands for flying model aircraft in general, with the " 1 " stading specifically for free flight models.

The FAI sanctions World and European Championships for the ultimate indoor duration class designated F1D.

The flight covers a distance of 42, 432 km ( 26, 366 statute miles ), although the international governing body for aeronautic world records, the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale ( FAI ), accredits the distance as 40, 212 km ( 24, 972 statute miles ).

It was recognized by the FAI as a double world record flight for its duration and straight line distance of 3, 030 km using an autopilot.

The requirements for FAI to be effective, both internally, to protect humanity against unintended consequence of the AI in question and externally to protect against other non-FAIs arising from whatever source are:

However, the organisations formed by anarchists have either been political federations, such as the FAI, or often resemble the non-parliamentary roles of a political party by having a shared membership, set of principles, platform for action and media such as newspapers.
