• Aerobatics, Aeromodelling, amateur-built and experimental aircraft, ballooning, drones, skydiving, and historic aircraft will all be covered by the regulation.
• According to the draft NASP, an Air Sports Federation of India (ASFI) will be constituted as the apex regulating body.
• If an air sports association fails to enforce safety rules, the ASFI may take action against it.

Given India’s enormous geographical breadth, diverse topography, and favorable meteorological conditions, the Ministry of Civil Aviation has produced a draft National Air Sports Policy (NASP) to maximize the country’s potential for air sports.

Sports included in NASP 2022

According to the draft NASP, an Air Sports Federation of India (ASFI) will be constituted as the apex regulating body.
The day-to-day operations will be handled by the associations for each air sport.
The Paragliding Association of India, for example, will oversee sports under its jurisdiction.

According to the proposed policy, air sports associations are responsible to ASFI for regulatory monitoring as well as guaranteeing safe, affordable, accessible, pleasurable, and sustainable conduct of their respective air sport.

The new effort, according to the ministry, will let Indians participate in and succeed in global air sporting competitions. Air sports will be encouraged to be included in the curriculum of schools, colleges, and institutions, according to the report.
