the decree will be in force by March 1st 2017.

tandem and paramotor licenses.

Colleagues not having a license as listed above are advised to contact an
Austrian Flying-School to obtain an official "Guest Flying License." Please be
aware that for flying in Austria a 3rd party liability insurance up to SDR
750.000 is compulsory.

We also recommend sufficient coverage for search and rescue – as helicopter
costs can be quite high. For any queries in regard of insurance please contact
us: <axa> or visit our
website www.flugschulen.at/axa/english.
