Calling all pilots…
Have you got insurance cover to compete in the Championships?
As in past years it will be a requirement that all pilots competing in the 2006 UK Championships must have valid 3rd party insurance.
This is a requirement of the event insurance company and of the organising committee – and I’m sure you’ll agree that it makes sense too!
Registered pilots and free flyers will be required to present their insurance papers for validation when booking in at the field HQ. You will need to have organised your insurance prior to the event, as we will not have any facilities to ‘sign you up’ on the day. Please be sure to bring your papers with you and that they are current and valid.
The two sources of insurance, we are aware of, are through the BHPA under their normal membership scheme, with Paramotoring endorsement (SPHG). The BHPA is the route we recommend, as we know that they provide good cover and support pilots in the event of a claim. Or you can get insurance through the French company Verspieren. As a Committee we are not endorsing or recommending them, simply saying here are two to check out for yourselves, but do be sure they meet your personal requirements. Either will be acceptable to the 2006 Nats Committee.
If you are choosing to use the latter company please be aware that Verspieren insurance can only be bought online at:

…….. but don’t leave it till the last minute as it might take a while for you to get all your papers sorted.
Visiting overseas pilots
The BHPA have confirmed that they will insure foreign pilots for £40 as in previous years. This will be available when you book in to the competition.
Foreign nationals please note - this is ONLY available to pilots living overseas, not foreign nationals living in the UK. If you live in the UK please have valid BHPA or Verspieren insurance.
