Aero Club of Uruguay
The website of the Aero Club del Uruguay or Aero Club of Uruguay indicates two different dates of founding in the year 1913. According to one webpage, it was founded 22 Jan. 1913 and still exists today to assist pilots in meeting the technical requirements of certification authorities, including achieving English language proficiency. According to another webpage, it was founded as a civil, nonprofit association in February 1913 by distinguished Uruguayan citizens for the purpose of promoting the practice, teaching, and dissemination of powered flight and related techniques among its members for sport as well as for the development of aviation. It still exists today as a non-profit institution, ensuring that its members have access to adequate and safe aircraft for instruction and training and that such instruction and training include the latest in technical improvements for the proper performance of aviation activity.
It is not clear whether the Aero Club del Uruguay was ever an FAI member. In October 1919, the Centro nacional de Aviation del Uruguay was the FAI member.
