Your principal aerospace role

From activity to application
Explain the role in your own words.
Our public research institution proposes a defined knowledge-exchange contribution. The application will identify its mandate, authorized representative and any participation limitations.
Example wording, not a verified member record or a statement of assessed capability.
Would membership imply government endorsement of the Federation?
No. A participation relationship is not government endorsement and does not give AF regulatory authority. Appropriate representation and the institution’s own requirements must remain clear.
