2020 Documents and reports

CIMA Plenary 2020

Delegate’s report

NAC: Germany

1) Introduction

Overview of activity since the last plenary meeting

Due to COVID 19 situation the only national Championships scheduled for May 21 st to 23 rd was canceled. The event is postponed to May 13 th to 16 th 2021.

Since we had no PPG competition for some years, we introduce training sessions for interested pilots with small number of participants. We change our rules, that pilots who are flying successful on a defined level in open nationals outside Germany can get access in the national team. This will hopefully help to come back in CAT 1 events.

3) Regulatory and legal issues

Changes to law or regulations

Germany uses the so called opt out procedure to allowed microlights with a max take off mass ( MTOW ) up to 600 kg to be regulated outside EASA on a national level.

A small number of 3axis microlights have got already their type certification for this new limit.

What are the legal MTOW weight limits in your country for:

Microlights: 600 kg

Autogyros: 600 kg
