German Flying Sites

The German Air Law requires hang gliding and paragliding pilots to have either the German Luftfahrerschein or the Austrian Sonderpilotenschein. Foreign guests who are permanent residents outside Germany and hold a foreign pilot's licence need the IPPI Card (International Pilot Profiency Identification Card) Stage 4 for normal flying or, for cross-country flying, stage 5. Guest pilots may not instruct, tow or carry passengers without permission issued by the DHV. You can find more information for visiting pilots here.

Flying is only allowed from sites which have a Governmental permission. Enclosed is an overview of popular flying sites in Germany.
Before flying, please contact the clubs or schools directly in order to be informed about the rules of flying. Visiting pilots will need to carry proof of suitable third-party liability insurance cover in accordance with German regulations. Insurance coverage must be at least 750.000 SZR. Aerobatics (more than 135 degree bank or pitch, spins) and night flights are not permittet in Germany.
