The Norwegian Air Sports Authority is the national authority responsible for sailing and ballooning in Norway. The authority's task is to administer certificates and training in air sports, as well as to implement EASA regulations (European Union Aviation Safety Agency) in the country. This involves, among other things, the development of theory questions for certificates and the conversion of national glider certificates to SPL certificates.
In addition to certification and training, the Norwegian Air Sports Authority offers skills tests and competence assessments for athletes in air sports. The Authority collaborates with the Norwegian Air Sports Association to ensure competence and quality in its services. A focus on safety and quality is central to their work, which contributes to a safer practice of aerial sports in Norway.
