admin (Simon W) Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 All, I have just been chatting on facebook with Marc from the BHPA. Among other things the most important thing with regards to the trike exemption that can now be applied for is: If you are currently a BHPA member and seeking a trike exemption from the CAA, although you may get the exemption from the CAA, the BHPA insurance will NOT cover you to fly your trike. I am quite surprised to hear this to be honest be hey ho... it is what it is. To confirm: I have spoken to our insurers and they agree that if an exemption in in place that it makes it legally flown and there for WILL cover trikes with medical exemption in place. As an existing BHPA member, you can get cross rated to the PMC and get insurance for your wheels. Happy to chat about this 07983 428 453 or post below.

manny Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Thanks Simon, the insurance bit puzzles me a little, generally. As a member of the BHPA there is insurance included, right? Then I was told I need additional cover. Then there is special travel-paramotor-insurance when travelling abroad. Which bits are covered by the BHPA and what is the additional insurance for? Is there a section here in the forum that explains the 'legal' side of the flying business? Many thanks Manny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admin (Simon W) Posted January 26, 2017 Author Share Posted January 26, 2017 This is exactly why it's worth reading the policy document's before joining / buying the insurance. We don't have 'bolt ons' which is partly why it costs a little more, but we do cover tandem, we do cover overseas, and we do cover trikes and quads with medical exemption in the standard policy.

admin (Simon W) Posted January 26, 2017 Author Share Posted January 26, 2017 Legally, you don't need insurance at all for PPG activities in the UK at least, (places vary) SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
