The ÖAeC is a member of the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI). In addition, the ÖAeC also issues sports licenses that are required for participation in competitions.
history
The association was founded on April 17, 1900 in St. Annahof in Vienna under the direction of Viktor Silberer (1846–1924) and Franz Hinterstoisser as the “Vienna Aero Club”. The name was changed in 1910 to "Austrian Aero Club". In 1928 Walther Pessl became president.
On July 30, 1950, the association was re-established with the approval of the Allies. The new ÖAeC chose field pilot Major a. D. Ferdinand Cavallar von Grabensprung as the first post-war president.
The record jump from the stratosphere by Felix Baumgartner in October 2012 was confirmed by the ÖAeC.
