Note : The Army administration initially failed to provide a properly regulated course of flight instruction and this was left to the "K.K. Österreichischer Aero-Club".
This club, under the patronage of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and the honorary presidency of Max Egon Fürst zu Fürstenburg, Viktor Silberer and Franz Hinterstoisser had been founded in 1901 as the "Wiener Aero-Club" and subsequently renamed as the "K.K. Österreichischer Aero Club" in 1908.
In line with it's Hungarian counterpart, from 1910 on, it licensed pilots in accordance with the regulations of the "Fédération Aéronautique Internationale" (FAI) headquartered in Paris. The trainee pilots had to complete three orbital solo flights of at least five kilometres duration and land at a specific position with the machine no more than 150 metres from the specified point.
