FAI Badges

There are four FAI badges based on scores achieved over consecutive flights at FAI sanctioned competitions as follows:

Bronze – Four consecutive landings within 1m of the centre of the target
Silver – Four consecutive landings with a total score of 1m or less
Gold – Four consecutive landings on the pad within 10cm of the centre of the target
Diamond – There are three ways to achieve this badge as follows:
• Five consecutive scores of 5cm or less
• Four consecutive landings with a combined total of 10cm or less
• Three consecutive scores of 0cm

The badge system only includes scores achieved after May 1st 2012, and does not consider dropped scores. Badges are issued by the appropriate NAC, who keep a register of pilots’ names and dates of completion of the badge flights. Below is a table of current UK badge holders.
