The main areas of activity at the association level are strategically summarized in the departments of the Executive Board of the Swiss Model Aviation Association.

As process managers, the respective department heads have a wide range of opportunities to influence and support their areas of responsibility, together with the regional model airplane associations, the expert commissions and the model flight clubs.

The department heads often represent the board directly outside on the model airfields, depending on the topic and need and in close cooperation with the regional associations and expert groups or commissions.
