About bhpa.co.uk

The British Hang Gliding and Paragliding Association (BHPA) supports a network of recreational clubs and registered flying schools in the United Kingdom. It oversees pilot and instructor training standards, sets airworthiness standards and runs coaching courses for qualified pilots. Initial hang gliding and paragliding training must be taken at a BHPA registered school, and the BHPA operates the Pilot Rating Scheme for progression through the sport.

Its members are recreational hang gliding and paragliding pilots, and the association also runs free flight competitions through a Competitions Committee. Membership includes automatic £5 million third-party insurance. The association sells pilot handbooks, log books and subscriptions to its Skywings magazine through an online shop, and publishes Skywings, which is distributed by mail to around 7,000 members each month.

The head office is in Leicester. The association also runs Flyability, a disability initiative that reports to its Executive Council.

Product: Pilot training oversight, club and school registration, airworthiness standards, Skywings magazine, and member insurance for hang gliding and paragliding.
