Find a structure or an instructor

Clubs, schools and instructors affiliated to the federation can be searched by département.

The online directory will fill with the list of affiliated structures as soon as it has been imported into the new site; until then, when a département’s list does not appear, the page offers the regional committee, the head office and the microlight airfields of the département.
