Flying during an airshow
The Coupe Icare is a celebration for pilots.
To ensure we can all fly together safely, and as with any major gathering, we must comply with current French aviation regulations. For activities that require registration, the volunteer Flight Management team is required to check your third-party air insurance and/or your CERFA form.
Please note:
To fly during the Coupe Icare, you’ll need Third Party Air insurance (RCA) that provides coverage of at least one million euros. Examples of accepted RCA policies: FFVL, FFPLUM, Federación Aérea Madrileña, Federacio Aero Catalana, Federacio Baleares, SHV, FSVL, AIF, Versicherungen Makelburo Thomas Schaub, FIVL, Hungary FFA, NZHGPA, HACP, ACVL, Planeta Volo Not valid: Home, auto, travel, and health insurance policies, as well as policies providing coverage of less than one million euros. More information is available on the insurance page.
Do you need compliant insurance?
Two options offered by the Coupe Icare:
1 – Through the FFVL:
Any individual who holds a valid license or participation certificate from the FFVL, regardless of nationality, and whose primary and habitual residence* is in metropolitan France, the European Union, the Principality of Monaco, Switzerland, Andorra, Liechtenstein, the United Kingdom, the French overseas departments and regions (DROM), the French overseas collectives (COM), the French overseas territories (PTOM), the Republic of Mauritius, or Madagascar, and who is engaged in or practicing a free flight activity (both powered and unpowered) at the time of the accident, is automatically covered by civil liability insurance for the activity corresponding to the federal license held, provided that they possess the valid qualifications and authorizations required for the flight or activity undertaken.
*The insured person’s primary and usual residence address is the one listed on their most recent income tax notice.
