Haute
Voltige visits SportAccord
The Haute Voltige team
visited SportAccord, the annual international sports convention
that was held in Lausanne last week.
SportAccord
is a showcase for the 99 International Sporting Federations
(including the FAI), affiliated to the General Association of
International Sports Federations (GAISF), and provides a great
networking platform for host cities, sponsors, broadcasters
and manufacturers from around the world.
The
Haute Voltige team met with a government representative considering
hosting an event in the Asia Pacific region in 2007 or 2009.
A meeting was also held with the FAI to further the planning
of an Haute Voltige FAI World Grand Prix to be held at Lausanne
as part of the centenary celebrations of the International Air
Sports Federation in 2005.

THE
FAI HAUTE VOLTIGE GRAND PRIX SERIES
The new FAI HAUTE VOLTIGE GRAND
PRIX SERIES started 01 January 2004 and will finish 31 December
2005.
Open to Propeller and Jet aircraft, to Solo pilots and to Formation
Teams, to civilian and military competitors, it will deliver
a World Champion title sanctioned by FAI (Federation Aeronautique
Internationale), the international organisation in charge of
all air sports world wide.
PILOTS SELECTION
Civilian pilots are either proposed by aircraft manufacturers
(test pilots), or selected among the top pilots competing in
the Freestyle World Aerobatic Championship ruled by the International
Commission for Aerobatics (CIVA) of the FAI.
Preselections
for pilots who are not test pilots from manufacturers should
be made in each CIVA country through a CHALLENGE ROUND to be
open to traditional aerobatic competitors as well as airshow
pilots. The final list of Challengers will then compete with
the Haute Voltige Defenders for the title of Freestyle World
Aerobatic Champion (in 2005) as well as for a seat in the Haute
Voltige Team of Defenders for the following Series 2006-2007.
Military pilots are selected by their own Air Force. |
