Is the IPPI Card accepted in your country ?

We accept the IPPI card for purposes of determining a pilot's rating. IPPI 4 for intermediate and IPPI 5 for advanced rating.

What is the minimum legal insurance coverage required in your country ?

You have to be a USHGA member for third party liability insurance and to fly at most sites. Thirty day minimum USHGA membership is available, especially to competition pilots.

This Subcommittee develops the distribution and promotion of IPPI Cards and encourages all countries to use them to ensure pilot proficiency for both visiting pilots and their own pilots when travelling abroad.

To all National Hang Gliding/Paragliding Associations
Following the introduction of the IPPI card in 1992, national associations and pilots throughout the world have benefited from the internationally recognised standards of the IPPI card. However a lot of pilots are still not using it. To encourage more pilots to use the IPPI card we would like all national hang gliding and paragliding associations to promote this card using the information found on CIVL web site.
Some of those information badly need to be updated.
