DOCUMENTATION FOR GLIDERS, PLEASE READ CAREFULLY !
We would like to remind you that you will be requested to produce the
following documentation at the local registration of 2009 World Cup events :
- A Statement from your insurance company in English that you have
insurance cover (to include all hospital expenses, rescue and
repatriation) or a similar personal accident insurance as well as a
third part liability insurance.
- Glider documentation : All gliders must at least match the
minimum theorical resistance defined below, and can be:
· Type A: Certified with no change after production
· Type B: Non certified gliders produced in more than 10 pieces
with no change after production.
· Type C : All other gliders.
Pilots flying with type A and B, do not need any documentation.
Pilots flying with type C must bring at their first competition
registration the following data, called “Permit to Fly” (File enclosed),
issued by the manufacturer and also signed by the pilot .
We draw your attention on the fact that this "Permit to fly" must be
filled and signed by the pilot AND by the manufacturer.
It is the manufacturer's responsibility to choose which pilots are
flying with his prototypes.
It is the pilot's responsibility to follow the manufacturer requirements
for the glider maintenance (interval for changing the lines, weight
range to fly, check interval, etc) AND to provide all the needed and
valid documents.
The prototype can be worked or improved between each event but the pilot
is not allowed to make any modifications during the competition.If a
modification has been done between 2 competitions a new updated "Permit
to Fly" must be provided.
