Risks specific to ultralight aviation
Microlight aviation involves:
- Specific engines (often Rotax-type) and the development of small turbines
- Lightweight and composite structures
- A strong dependence on weather conditions
- A practice that is often individual or supervised
Standard general aviation cover is not always suited to these risks.

- In-depth knowledge of the practice
- Personalised support
Fly and operate with peace of mind
Whether you are a pilot or an organisation, your cover must match your real-world activity.
Air sports
- Paragliding
- Hang gliding
- Kitesurfing / wing surfing
- Skydiving
These disciplines call for protection that matches their risks, and standard insurance policies are generally not enough.
As a broker specialising in air sports, and in particular broker to the FFP and FFVL federations, we support you from the very start of your practice.
Your licence includes third-party liability insurance, which covers damage caused to others and is in fact a legal requirement for practising these sports.
Beyond liability, we offer personal accident cover tailored to your profile: disability benefit, death benefit, daily allowances, search and rescue costs, and repatriation. Our field knowledge and understanding of each discipline allow us to guide you towards the most relevant options and to check that your other policies, which often exclude air sports, leave no gaps in cover.
