As in previous years, FAI licenses for 2024 are virtual only, the current status of issued FAI licenses for the Czech Republic can be found in this list. The file will be continuously updated, so you will always find up-to-date information in it.
An FAI license is required for all races included in the FAI calendar, i.e. also for Czech League and MČR races.
To issue an FAI license for 2024, proceed as follows:
– you must be a member of the LAA and the Paragliding Association or another association under the LAA (can be verified online) and have a valid pilot's license
- if you are not a Czech citizen, a permanent residence in the Czech Republic for at least 6 months is a condition
– you should be familiar with FAI sports regulations (no one will test you on it, but as an FAI license holder you should be familiar with it)
– fill out the form https://forms.gle/TWxP8quyRtTdUYC86
– pay 250 CZK (amount according to the new price list of LAA fees) to the LAA account 2800066859 / 2010 - do comment add FAI License 2024 - {first and last name}, e.g. “FAI license 2024 – Josef Novák”, and also fill in yours social security number like variable symbol – this will enable the automatic matching of the payment with your person and thus faster processing of the request.
Then wait for your FAI license to appear in the list above. As a rule, it is within 14 days.
If, in exceptional cases, a faster issuance of an FAI license is needed, contact Chief Paragliding Inspector Jan Hájek (see LAA contacts).
