CIVL prepared to carry out threat against pilots?


Flip Koetsier, , has written:


But we would expect them to withdraw the FAI Sporting Licence from
any pilot who flew in a non-sanctioned event styled "World Championship."


This is not the first time that CIVL has threatened to withdraw
FAI Sporting Licenses from pilots (in that case paraglider pilots) when they
wanted to fly in meets that used the word, "World." Over ten years ago CIVL
threatened paraglider pilots who wanted to fly in the Paragliding World Cups.


The top paragliding pilots were brave and organized. They stated that if CIVL
did this they would not fly in the FAI/CIVL World Championships. The pilots flew
in the PWC's and continued to do so without CIVL fulfilling its threat.


After a while CIVL realized that they had better make nice with the PWC
organizers if they wanted to have a valid World Championships and now PWC's are
CIVL sanctioned automatically. See the latest
agreement between the PWC and FAI/CIVL here:

So will CIVL carry out this threat if the top pilots come and fly at the "Flytec
World Championships?" Will this be the opportunity for the top pilots to put a
sharp stick in the eye of the little napoleons over at CIVL, something that many
would dearly love to do?
