The Fédération Aéronautique Internationale, in Lausanne, Switzerland, is the official accrediting body in the world for aviation records. Skydivers may claim records in several disciplines, including target accuracy landing, largest formation of jumpers linked in freefall, largest formation of jumpers linked with open parachutes, and most points accrued on a competition skydive. The records can be in the female or general (non-gender specific) categories.
Skydivers participating in FAI records must hold a sporting license from their country's national aeroclub, which is the National Aeronautic Association in the U.S. Click here to visit the NAA site and obtain an FAI sporting license.
