CIMA Wiki Home

CIMA is the International Microlight and Paramotor Commission of the FAI - the World Airsports Federation

CIMA = Commission Internationale de Micro-Aviation.

All World Records, World Championships, Continental Championships and some other championships such as the Asian Beach Games are conducted under the direction of CIMA.

CIMA has a large number of delegates from around the World who meet annually at a Plenary meeting, usually in November.

Most CIMA decisions are made at Plenary meetings but much work goes on throughout the rest of the year. Sub-committees and working groups are appointed by the Plenary to do specific work and a [Bureau] consisting of a President, two vice Presidents, a Treasurer and a Secretary is elected by the Plenary to represent CIMA outside of the plenary.

The main purpose of this wiki is to facilitate the collaborative work of the Bureau and the different sub-committees and working groups, and to make their activity and results visible to the air sports community.

There are other uses as well, for example CIMA Delegates can enter national events in the unofficial events calendar and make World record corrections since the data fields were changed in the FAI records database at the beginning of 2010.

For any other official information please refer to the CIMA page at the FAI portal.

Message to CIMA Delegates

Delegates will also find a lot more information than is available to unregistered users. The message is simple: Don't be scared to break it, you can't. Use it, magic follows.

Wikipedia is an example of how the right tool has promoted the creation of a colossal piece of knowledge, it's almost like magic.

Records

CIMA defines the rules for Microlight & Paramotor World records. After 27 years of stability the FAI definition of a microlight changed in November 2018 so many World Records are now up for grabs...

CIMA Sub-committees

Sub committees are permanent groups, the chairman and members are appointed or re-appointed annually by the CIMA Plenary.

CIMA working groups

Working groups are similar to sub-committees except they are established on a temporary basis to address a particular issue and then disband when their work is complete.
