aquatix Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Paul, this is what the official site says for St. Hilaire: No official shows are scheduled for Thursday and Friday; on these days the sky is open to all pilots who have come from far and wide to participate in the Festival ! I assume they will have a separate 'official' launch site for ULM's as the Lumbin landing field will be very busy with people .... landing. Alan, thanks for the link, but I guess there will be some info available in St. Hilaire over the weekend. I'll be happy free flying until then (weather permitting) but hopefully find some places to fly the motor from on the return leg of the trip ?

pete_b Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Bit of a thread resurrection but ..........I'm heading to France in a few weeks to do some free flying around the Annecy region before heading down to the St. Hilaire festival where I will hopefully be picking up my shiny new paramotor. I know its a bit far from you Alan, but what are the regulations for visiting pilots ? I'd like to do some paramotoring around there but obviously don't want to go through foreign exams and registration process. Also don't wish to upset the "vol libre" fraternity even though I'd love to launch from the Doussard landing field for a flight round lake Annecy !! Any info or pointers to suitable websites appreciated. I've heard that to fly you DO have to show insurance for St. Hilaire, France. Same at Las Candelas, Spain. So with Onrisk no more, getting BHPA rating and their included insurance in the next few weeks looks the best (only?) option for me. Cheers Paul Joint aviation services ltd will insure you Paul Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Just found this old post. When in Perpignan last year I called Perpignan ATC and asked about flying from the beach nearby. They said it was fine so long as I kept out of their ATZ. They never mentioned a license. Oops! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
