CIVL are still waiting for replies from those countries who are not listed in this document. Please note that a non-reply does not indicate non-acceptance of IPPI card or no insurance requirements!

Following an excellent suggestion from Canada CIVL would also like to include responses to the following question:

What radios and radio frequencies are permitted for hang gliding and paragliding in your country?

Please e-mail answers to this question to Paula Bowyer (paula@fai.org)

Responses will be included in the next update of the Free Movement of Pilots document.
