The branches and divisions represent the life-blood of the Society with the majority of the Society's activities taking place within the Branches, they are the key to the effective promotion of aerospace within the community at large and proving a valuable gateway to the general public. They are also the means by which relationships with local aerospace industries and other bodies can be both maintained and enhanced. In addition, many Branch members are expert in their field and can add considerably to the work of the Specialist Groups.

2. ORGANISATION OF BRANCHES
2.1 By-Laws and Regulations for the governance of Branches
The Society is a Learned Society established as a Charity under terms issued by the Charity Commission. It also has a Royal Charter. The Charter of Incorporation and the By-laws form the code that governs the Society. The Council of the Royal Aeronautical Society is the body legally responsible for commitments made in the name of the Society. The legal relationship between the Society as a whole and an individual Branch is defined by two By-Laws, which form an annex to the Royal Charter, and by a set of Regulations. The By-Laws were last revised in 2007 and state:-
By-Law 17 DIVISIONS, BRANCHES, SECTIONS AND GROUPS
The power to form Divisions, Branches, Sections and Groups of the Society is vested in the Council which may draw up and vary as it thinks fit regulations for their formation and governance.
By-Law 17 (B) Branches
A Branch of the Society may be formed by agreement of the Council in any place where it will serve the interests of members or by a Division in accordance with the Regulations pertaining to the Governance of Divisions.
A Branch shall be formed and administered in accordance with the Branches Regulations or its successor as may be current at the time and approved by the Council for this purpose.
Branches shall pursue the purposes of the Society and do so for the benefit of members of the Society and solely as a Branch of the Society.
Branches shall protect the interests of the Society and the integrity of its name and reputation at all times and shall use the badges and symbols of the Society only as directed.
No Branch shall make any public statement representing it to be on behalf of the Society.
A Branch may be dissolved at any time by a decision of the Council or by a Division in accordance with the Regulations pertaining to the Governance of Divisions.
