The ILAS awards winners for 2017 were confirmed by the Committee at their meeting on 23rd November. They are:
| Category |
Winner |
| Air Touring |
Andrew Butler for his RV-7 trip to Switzerland with mountain flying in the Alps |
| Best Classic/Vintage Restoration |
John O'Toole for his conversion to floats of Piper J3 Cub EI-AET |
| John O'Loughlin Airmanship Award |
Ken Townsend for his handling of the 'open canopy' incident at EIIF in his Colibri EI-EWZ |
No eligible first flight of a homebuilt type took place within the judging year so the Ferguson trophy cannot be awarded in 2017. This is a matter of concern to the committee.
Congratulations to all of the winners
