2026 FFPLUM Insurance
The French Microlight Federation, an authorised insurance intermediary agent since October 2018, is continuing its relationship of trust by renewing its partnership for the 2025-2028 seasons with its broker Air Courtage and Axa XL, a French insurer well known in light aviation. Insurance matters are handled as a priority at the federation's head office thanks to the creation of a technical insurance team.
INSURANCE COVER OFFERED BY FFPLUM
- Third-Party Liability (TPL)
This fundamental cover, attached to the pilot (User TPL) or to the microlight (Aircraft TPL), covers damage caused to others. It protects the pilot against claims from any third party, including the passenger (in flight and on the ground). See the information sheet here. - Personal Accident (IA) for the pilot and/or their passenger
This cover pays a death or disability lump sum in the event of an accident related to flying. Loan insurance and life insurance policies on the market very often exclude microlight flying. See the Personal Accident information sheet here. - Damage while parked anywhere
This cover allows owners to insure against physical damage their microlight might suffer while parked on the ground, engine off, anywhere (including fire, theft and vandalism).
LEGAL SUPPORT AND PROTECTION INCLUDED IN YOUR FEDERATION LICENCE
As part of federation policy and to protect microlight flying, the Federation offers members and organisations various forms of legal assistance.
- The Federation listens to your problem and takes it on, through legal information and mediation.
- Legal support from our partner CFDP, first at the amicable stage and then in court if necessary.
- Partial or full coverage of expert, lawyer and procedural costs.
- When the general or particular interest of microlight flying is affected, the FFPLUM Executive Board is asked to launch a consultation (at FFPLUM's expense) and a proposed course of action from the federation lawyer, Maître Conti. The proposed actions are submitted to the Executive Board for partial or full coverage of the case.
REPATRIATION ASSISTANCE INCLUDED IN YOUR FEDERAL LICENCE
Repatriation assistance cover is provided to all members.
- Every FFPLUM member benefits from Repatriation Assistance cover.
- Passengers of two-seat pilots also benefit from this cover.
- A "Home assistance" service has been added, providing a home help, childcare for children under 15 and/or pet care, up to 20 hours spread over the 20 days following the accident or the end of hospitalisation.
AUTOMATIC, FREE COVER FOR AFFILIATED ORGANISATIONS
- Ground Third-Party Liability
- Sports Group Third-Party Liability
- Officers' Third-Party Liability
These cover schemes protect and insure all volunteers, employees and participants, including non-flying ones, who help within the organisations; members of the Executive Board, the Board of Directors, regional and département committees and divisions; contractors working for the Federation; and all pilots and managers of organisations.
