Micro Lighting Travel Insurance
If you are planning a trip and will be Micro Lighting whilst away, you should ensure you have a Travel Insurance policy before leaving your home.
Hugely popular types of micro lighting are Paragliding, Parasailing, Hand Gliding, powered parachuting, and even Hot Air Ballooning, which is considered a type of microlighting in some countries.
This policy is only available in Europe and is provided by our partner Adventures.
Please Note: We can cover the days you will participate in Micro Lighting (Europe Only) if you already have a Travel Insurance policy. When getting a quote and purchasing a policy, you must take out Adventures Party A Only, so the cover is valid.

Micro Lighting (Amateur Competition)
If you are taking part in a Micro Lighting (Amateur Competition) as a Pilot and require cover whilst on your trip, we can provide coverage through one of our providers, Adventures.
Please select Micro Lighting, and you will be automatically covered for Micro Lighting (Amateur Competition).
This policy will provide cover up to the age of 75 years.
Micro Lighting Equipment
Micro Lighting equipment depends on the type. The leading equipment is the aircraft itself, which could be a paraglider, parachute, weight shift control trike, hang glider, balloon or a typical fixed-wing Aircraft, essentially a tiny and lightweight aeroplane.
Clothing is also essential to protect people from the colder temperature up high in the sky and the possible injuries during a hard landing.
Layers of light clothing are better than heavy clothes. A windproof jacket is a good idea because it can get quite cold and windy up there.
Overalls or all-in-one ski suits are also appropriate clothing for this type of aviation. Consider wearing gloves and a waterproof jacket when the weather is less cooperative. Proper footwear is also essential.
Wear hiking boots or trainers with ankle support. These boots protect your feet when landing; footwear that keeps your feet dry is essential.
Pre-Existing Medical Conditions
We can provide you with a policy if you have pre-existing medical conditions and plan to participate in Micro Lighting while travelling abroad.
Our provider (Adventures) can offer travel insurance if you have a pre-existing medical condition.
Important Information
You must always wear the appropriate safety equipment, such as protective clothing and suitable head protection.
Please also ensure that you hold a complete and valid United Kingdom Driving Licence that permits you to use such a vehicle.
