(combine with other National Council)

On 4 Apr. 1911, when a new constitution and bylaws were adopted, the National Council of the Aero Club of America, became the National Council of the Aero Clubs of America. At that time, the Aero Club of America became an NC member on equal footing, except that the ACA remained the FAI representative. Articles of Affiliation of Aero Clubs in the United States with the ACA were published in the 1911-1912 ACA annuals. These provided that the ACA and its members and affiliated clubs could take part in events organized by the ACA, or by other affiliated clubs with the consent of the ACA, or by the NC, or by FAI member clubs. Accompanying Rules for Application for Affiliation with the ACA specified that "Applications for Affiliation with the Aero Club of America (whose jurisdiction is international) and for affiliation with the National Council (whose jurisdiction is national) must be made upon separate sets of papers, and the National Council should be separately consulted as to its own requirements in this regard."

In November 1911, the NC's chair, Robert J. Collier (elected in December 1910), was elected president of the ACA. Beginning with the 1913 ACA annual, the National Council ceased to be mentioned and would appear to have gone out of existence.

Affiliated with ACA, apparently only for 1911-1912
