45th edition of the COUPE ICARE

All the information and the weekend programme: http://www.coupe-icare.org/

Microlight access and registration: http://www.coupe-icare.org/info-pilotes-ULM.html

Instructions for paramotor pilots: http://www.coupe-icare.org/info-pilotes-paramoteurs.html

During the COUPE ICARE, access by air to the LUMBIN strip will be possible only on Saturday 22 and Sunday 23 September 2018, subject to prior registration for authorisation by the microlight flight direction (flights will be closed from 4 pm to 6 pm).

"Rustic" grass strip of 200 m + 80 m (safety stopway), reserved for STOL 3-axis microlights, weight-shift microlights, gyroplanes and helicopters.

Radio frequency 128,700 Hz.

Please check that your microlight's performance and your experience are compatible.

If you wish to come by air you must first fill in a request for authorisation, because this is an air display with access into a ZRT subject to authorisation.

For more information, contact the microlight flight direction: 06 66 80 89 67 and 06 07 03 80 88

PARAMOTOR MICROLIGHT flights are prohibited over the commune of LUMBIN (by municipal order); only paramotor flights limited to the ST HILAIRE plateau area are authorised, with compulsory prior registration
(contact: nmazaudi@gmail.com +33(0)6.70.64.00.36 Paramotor flight director): http://www.coupe-icare.org/info-pilotes-paramoteurs.html

And, as always, a free Lumbin/Saint Hilaire shuttle for microlight pilots who have come by air.

And of course find the FFPLUM stand at the St Hilaire Show (at the top), with members of the board of directors of your federal team, as well as the stand of your AURA Regional Committee at Lumbin with the weight-shift flight simulator and the three-axis simulator.
