2.1. Aims and Objectives.
2.1.A. Community and activities.
- The Aviation society provides a space for aviation enthusiasts to get together and meet with like
minded people.
Since the flight of persons in hot-air balloons, humans have developed many different methods by
which to connect ourselves with the atmosphere. In today’s world there are many different methods
by which persons and machines can facilitate transit by air. Helicopters, Paragliders,
Traditional Fixed-wing aircraft, Remote and Model aircraft, hot air balloons, etc. Further, it
could be said that all operations carried out in the air are simply a gateway to facilitate
further exploration of what lies beyond in space.
Whatever aviation interest prospects may have, the aviation society is a space for discussions to
be had.
(See further 2.2 Scope of Planned Activities)

2.1.B. Shape the future of Aviation
- With a rise in the number of users of the air, there arises a need for better legislation,
regulation, and enforcement of activities carried out in the air. Government authorities
constantly engage with stakeholders and general public in order to facilitate the development of
a safe space for all users. More recently these challenges pertain towards effective regulation
of Remote Aircraft, Space Operations, and Manufacturer Obligations.
Members of the Aviation Society can expect to form opinions, engage in discussions, and respond
to regular consultations put forward by national and international aviation regulators.

2.1.C. Promote Safe, Responsible, Legal and Sustainable Activities.
- Organisations and relevant stakeholders work together to make aviation activities possible.
Members of the Aviation Society, can expect to engage with internal and external stakeholders
