Pilot Requirements

Pilots with a IPPI card level IV or V can fly freely. Pilots with IPPI card level III can only fly with supervision. See www.fai.org for details on the IPPI card

Speed flying: a Swiss speed flying license extension is required.

Tandem: not allowed unless you have a Swiss tandem licence.

All pilots must have a CHF 1 million third party insurance (about €630’000). You must carry proof of this with you. Low cost, short-term insurance is available online from SHV-FSVL.

Skyshepherd ‘s role is to help you enjoy your flying holiday: We are a host and a local guide, but you are solely responsible for your own actions, and their consequences.

what we will do:

• we will choose sites we think you will enjoy
  
  
• we will help you familiarise yourself with the weather, the flying area and the airspace
  

what we cannot do:

• we cannot fly for you, and you need to take responsibility for your own safety
  
  
• we cannot make your decision to fly or not, or how/where you fly
