*All, in line with the information being passed round the other clubs this
is the official BHPA position in respect of the recent CIVL announcement
covering comp wing use.*
*Paragliding Competitions - Official BHPA Statement*
Members of the Paragliding Competitions Panel have now met with The BHPA
Executive Council to discuss what steps should be taken at a UK level, and
have issued the following statement:
*Following the recent events at the Paragliding world championship in
Piedrahita, the following statement was issued by CIVL:- *
*"Due to recent incidents at the 12th FAI Paragliding World Championship in
Piedrahita, Spain the CIVL Bureau has temporarily suspended the
certification of Competition Class Paragliders with immediate effect. This
suspension means that paragliders classified as Competition Class under Rule
12.1.1.2 of Section 7B of the FAI Sporting Code are not permitted to fly in
FAI Category 1 championships for the period of the suspension. Organisers of
FAI Category 2 events are also strongly advised to consider whether
Competition Class paragliders should be permitted to compete in events with
racing tasks for the period of the suspension." *
Members of the Paragliding Competitions Panel met with The BHPA Executive
Council at an emergency meeting in Leicester on the 14th July to decide on
the steps that should be taken in response.
*The BHPA‘s position, with immediate effect, is that participation in all
BHPA Paragliding Competitions involving racing tasks is limited to the use
of EN or LTF certified gliders only. This position will remain in force
until CIVL‘s decision is reversed or varied. *
A significant effect will be that BHPA competitions currently in progress or
planned, must proceed using certified gliders only. This will seriously
impact upon the British Paragliding Championships, the next stage of which
is to be held in St Jean. The Paragliding Competitions Panel is currently
liaising with competitors involved.
*Important: Insurance Situation: *
This will affect the applicable BHPA liability cover. Your BHPA 3rd party
liability insurance will be invalid if you participate in the organisation
(eg: task-setting or marshalling) of any paragliding competition involving
racing tasks where pilots are flying uncertified gliders. If any member is
uncertain as to whether this affects them, they must contact the BHPA to
discuss their particular situation.
*For Clarification:*
- Free flying is not affected
- Paragliding XC League and Accuracy competitions are not considered to
involve "racing tasks" and are therefore not affected
- The BHPA 3rd Party Liability insurance continues to cover individual
pilots who fly uncertified gliders at all times, provided they are
registered with the BHPA in the usual way
- Paramotoring is governed by CIMA and is therefore unaffected by the
advice from CIVL
