First Speedriding Regulations in Spain, and a set of rules for its practice, both inside and outside a ski resort. The regulations are collected from the FADA. www.fada.aero (regulations) Specific regulations for the practice of the activity. Speedriding Regulations in Cerler Speedriding Regulations (2017) Definition of Speedriding The development of the sport of paragliding is evolving and specializing according to the branch, the most notable and depending on the size of the sail, we will find: Paragliding, sails of more than 18 square meters. Mini-paragliding, within the mini-paragliders we can distinguish: Mini-paragliding, performance sails, less than 18 square meters and greater than 15 square meters. Speedriding and Speedflying, sails from 5 square meters to 18 square meters. Speedriding is a sport that combines mini-paragliding, known as Speedriding or Speedflying, with skiing. The principle of speedriding is to glide while remaining on the snow, which can be alternated with flying. The general predominance of speedriding is skiing and gliding on the snow, but depending on the area where the sport is practiced, it will adapt to the slope, the orientation of the hillside, the regulations of the area where the activity will be carried out, or other factors that may affect the practice. Depending on the circumstances, flying may prevail over skiing. Objective of the Speedriding Regulations. These regulations aim to regulate the sport of speedriding, in areas equipped for this purpose (ski resorts), or in other unequipped areas and outside of ski resorts. 2.1 Scope of application. Its scope is the territory of the Spanish State. 2.2 Regulations of Autonomous Federations. The Air Sports Federations of the different Autonomous Communities integrated into the RFAE may develop their own Speedriding Regulations or apply these. These Speedriding Regulations may not contradict or limit the RFAE Regulations. The Autonomous Communities must notify the RFAE of the entry into force of their own regulations and rules on Speedriding. 2.3 Reference Regulations. Sporting aspects not covered in these regulations will be governed by the Statutes and rules of the RFAE, and by the FIS ski regulations. 2.4. Requirements for learning and practicing Speedriding. Any person who meets the following requirements and obligations may practice Speedriding: Be of legal age. Minors over 14 years of age will require parental authorization. Not suffer from any injury or illness that prevents the practice of Speedriding. Be enrolled in a Speedriding School recognized by the RFAE or the corresponding Autonomous Communities Federation. Have a valid federation paragliding license from the start of their sporting activity, that is, from the first day of the course. After completing their training at the School, become a member of a Speedriding Club, where they will develop their further training and sporting activity.

It will be a slope with no natural or artificial obstacles nearby, with good visibility, no changes in gradient or narrowing, and with the appropriate gradient for the course to be run. Requirements. The school area must be approved for school recognition by the Federation, for which it must meet the following requirements. Slope for "Introductory Student Speedriding" courses: A regular, continuous slope, without fractures in the terrain or obstacles between the drainage and landing areas. The speedriding area must be free of obstacles, with sufficient width and free of obstacles. Easy access that allows for rapid assistance and evacuation in the event of an accident. The speedriding school must have the appropriate permits from the owner or concessionaire of the land where the school area is located for the development of its activity. Slope for "Progression Student Speedriding" courses: Slope, without fractures or obstacles. The start or "takeoff" and finish or "landing" areas must be of sufficient surface area and free of obstacles. Convenient access that allows for rapid assistance and evacuation in the event of an accident. The Speedriding school must have the appropriate permits from the owner or concessionaire of the land where the school area is located for the development of its activities. A single school area may only be used by a maximum number of schools, as this would jeopardize the safety of students and the quality of instruction. The Speedriding Course. The Speedriding Course is the set of regulated courses that students complete to learn and perfect downhill speedriding techniques and acquire knowledge of the necessary disciplines, primarily aerodynamics and meteorology. It is taught at Speedriding Schools by Speedriding Instructors and Monitors. By completing the Speedriding Courses and after completing the required practice descents, the student will be ready to take the exam for the "Speedriding Pilot" qualification. Curriculum. The Speedriding Course Curriculum is as follows, divided into two courses: - "Speedriding Student Introductory Course." Introductory course. Its objective is to learn the basic techniques for speedriding while descending on skis. The student will be able to perform low-altitude flights guided by the instructor, in calm aerological conditions. Theoretical classes: Basic meteorological knowledge. Basic aerodynamics knowledge. Basic paragliding piloting techniques. Speedriding traffic regulations and rules. Flight equipment and material. Practical classes: Level 1: Practice inflating the speedriding wing on a gentle slope. The objective is to accustom the student to the sensation of feeling the pressure of the wing before the first descents. Diagonal descents to regulate speed and learn how to brake. Radio-guided descents. Level 2: Descents linking diagonals without losing control and at a constant speed. Radio-guided descents. Level 3 Flights, performing diagonal descents to direct descents with the intention of gradually increasing flight time. Areas indicated for beginners, with a gentle slope. Radio-guided flights. The beginner's course will last a minimum of four days. "Speedriding Student Progression" Course. The objective is to perfect the basic speedriding piloting techniques acquired in the beginner's course. The student will be able to perform high-altitude flights without radio guidance, independently deciding takeoff times, the glide or descent path, approach and landing maneuvers, in a non-turbulent aerodynamics situation. They will also be able to independently follow a descent plan predetermined by the instructor, either flying or gliding on skis. Minimum theoretical content: - Aerology applied to speedriding. - Selection of ideal flight conditions. - Traffic regulations. Traffic regulations for slope flying. - Paragliding aerodynamics. - Emergency situations in Speedriding. Minimum practical content. - Selection of landing and approach outside the official landing area. - Dynamic climb flight technique. - Action in emergency situations and rapid descent maneuvers. The basic advanced training course will last a minimum of five days. The Flight Log. Every Speedriding pilot will have a personal flight log from the moment they begin their training, which will be separate from their paragliding log. In it, they will record all their descents, which will be duly accredited by instructors. The Flight Log will serve as certification of the number of flights required to obtain the "Speedriding Pilot" certification. The Flight Log will be issued by the RFAE through the corresponding regional federation and given to the student with their first Federation License. Subsequent flight logs may be requested as the previous ones are completed, which will remain in the pilot's possession. The student's progress sheet. Recognized schools will use a progression record system to monitor their students' learning. 6. FLIGHT RULES AND RECOMMENDATIONS 6.1.

First Speedriding Regulations in Spain, and set of rules for its practice, both inside and outside a ski resort. Speedriding Regulations The regulations are collected from the FADA. www.fada.aero (regulations) SPEEDRIDING Cerler Regulations Rules of conduct of Aramón Cerler, Speedriding.es and the FADA, for Speedriders within the ski resort (2017 version) Guide to the Rules for Speedriding within the Cerler ski resort In order to practice Speedriding independently within the Cerler ski resort, the Speedrider must meet the following requirements for their own safety and that of third parties. Federation License It is mandatory to have a valid federation license, issued through an official Speedriding school, or through the FADA. Failing this, an alternative RC insurance will be valid, which clearly specifies that it covers the Speedriding activity. Even with a Federation License, you must have completed a course with a Speedriding school to participate in the activity. To validate your level, please contact the Speedriding school. Resort Insurance You must purchase the slope insurance offered by the resort when purchasing the ski pass. Speedriding Certification It is mandatory to hold one of the following certifications. The Speedriding school will issue the certifications corresponding to the courses taught and the Speedrider's level. These certifications are available: "Initiation Speedriding Student," a student certification that exclusively qualifies you for Speedriding in the Cogulla area. "Progression Speedriding Student," a student certification that qualifies you for Speedriding in the Cogulla and Canal Amplia areas. "Speedriding Speedriding Pilot," an independent pilot certification that qualifies you for Speedriding in the Cogulla and Canal Amplia areas. The specifications for these certifications are included in the Speedriding Regulations. "Speedrider without a qualification" - Speedriders who wish to validate these qualifications must demonstrate their level of Speedriding experience. To do so, they must book a level test with the official Speedriding school and meet its requirements. Identification vest: To access the ski lifts with Speedriding equipment, we must wear a numbered identification vest, which will be provided by the Speedriding school. The identification vest will make us visible to the ski lift operators and pisteurs at the resort and will indicate that we are aware of and meet the requirements for the activity. The vest will be personal and cannot be transferred to third parties under any circumstances. The vest will have a deposit of €20; this amount will be refunded once the vest is returned in perfect condition at the end of the activity. Registration list: Speedriders are required to register on the registration list available at the base of the "El Molino" ski resort. On the registration list, you must fill out the following sections: First Name Last Name ID Number Telephone Email Date. This will be completed for each day of the activity. Speedriding identification vest (The Speedriding school will leave them with a €10 deposit, which will be refunded once the vest is returned in perfect condition). Size of the sail to be used; sails longer than 13 meters are prohibited. Equipment must be in perfect condition, including ski equipment and helmet. Sail color. Predominant color. Radio station. We will have a common frequency so we can be located. Failure to comply with any of the regulations set out in this document could result in the permanent blocking of your pass for speedriding within the resort. Rules of Conduct for Speedriding in Cerler 1. Respect for others. Speedriders must behave in a way that does not endanger or harm others. Skiers/snowboarders, backcountry skiers, snowmobilers, or others not specified herein, will have priority over us (Speedriders), and we must not impede their path or trajectory, nor invade the space around them with a margin of at least 20 meters. 2. Control of speed and manner of skiing or flying. The Speedrider must ski-fly in a controlled manner. They must adapt their speed and manner of skiing or flying to their personal ability and to the general conditions of the terrain, snow and weather, as well as the traffic density in the area enabled for the activity. Pistes 0: Within the areas enabled for Speedriding, it is prohibited to descend by stepping on the skier slopes "Pistes 0", to fly over the slope, or to obstruct the passage of skiers. 3. Priority. Priority will always be given to the users of the resort: skiers, snowboarders, snowmobilers, backcountry skiers, or others not specified. The Speedrider before other Speedriders. The Speedrider moving behind must choose his route so as not to endanger the Speedrider in front. Speedriders who encounter others during takeoff are required to check the size of their companions' gliders and to know who has the greatest wing loading. The order of departure will then be: Speedriders with the least finesse first, and Speedriders with the greatest finesse last. The Speedrider who is in the takeoff area preparing their gear will have priority over others who do so later. If this Speedrider with priority is slower preparing gear than those in front of them, they will, out of courtesy, give way to the Speedrider ahead of them and is about to land or prepare for their approach will have priority and we must not block their path or perform any maneuver that may hinder them. 4. Overtaking. Overtaking will mainly be due to a greater wing loading of the glider, due to the size of the glider, weight of the pilot, profile and level of the glider, or other factors... these are factors that we must take into account in order to establish a multiple takeoff order and avoid overtaking or hindering us. Overtaking can be done from above or below, right or left, but always in such a way that sufficient space is left to prevent the overtaken Speedrider from making voluntary or involuntary movements. 5. Entering the designated area, beginning the slide and turning in various directions. All Speedriders within the designated area must begin the activity in the area marked "Take-off" and must finish the descent at the "Landing" area. If, due to an error during the start or a fall during the descent, we have to re-prepare the equipment and start again outside the "Take-off" area, we must resume the descent after stopping and looking above, below, and behind to ensure that they can do so without danger to themselves or others, and never on slopes or obstructing the passage of skiers. If the latter occurs, we must choose to collect the equipment and look for another more suitable location. If this location is not suitable, we may even abandon the Speedriding descent and ski down. 6. Stops on slopes. Unless absolutely necessary, the Speedriders must avoid stopping in narrow passages or areas with reduced visibility in the areas designated for Speedriding. In the event of a fall in such areas, they must move away and clear the area as soon as possible. 7. Ascents and descents on foot. Speedriders ascending or descending on foot must do so on the side of the slope. 8. Respect for markings and signs. Speedriders must respect all signs and markings. Slopes 0 Although the area designated for Speedriding is prohibited on slopes, SLOPES 0, this does not mean that we should ignore the markings and signs of the ski resort. In the event of a conflict between markings, signs and the status of the area, we must consult the resort before carrying out the activity or descent. The ski resort, managers, pisteurs, or other officials of the resort, as well as the Speedriding school in charge of organizing the activity, will have the final say on any possible contradictory information about the activity, which we must respect, and we must 9. Flying in the Speedriding area. Speedriding is a sport in which skiing takes priority over flying, so the activity will be carried out with gliders designed for this sport, which includes Speedflying with a maximum size of 13 square meters. Paragliders or mini-paragliders are not valid for the activity. Speedflying or Speedriding gliders must be smaller than the indicated size, 13 square meters. Flying in the Speedriding area will be for those who demonstrate they have the necessary level, and are recognized to participate in the activity in this area. Each area will correspond to a Speedriding level. It is prohibited to fly low over the slopes, cross slopes, fly over outside the authorized Speedriding area, or approach chairlifts, snow cannons, or other infrastructure within the ski area. We will only be able to fly over some mandatory runway passages to reach our landing area with a minimum height of 50 meters. The flight must be suitable for our level and we will not endanger ourselves or others with our actions. 10. Use of ski lifts. The Speedriding glider must be properly packed in its backpack or colipax bag so that it can be transported without hindering the proper functioning of the lifts. 11. Other flight rules. Flying after sunset is prohibited. If flying within the ski area, we must respect the ski resort's schedule and not remain within the ski area after it has closed. The minimum visibility for flying is 1.5 km. 13. Air traffic between Speedriders. Priority to the Speedrider in front. Priority to the Speedrider on the right. Priority to the Speedrider on the left, if the latter is unable to change their trajectory due to proximity to the slope. Overtaking on the right between Speedriders. The overtaking pilot will have priority once they have passed the overtaken one. The overtaking Speedrider will not impede the approach to landing from the person being overtaken, and will maintain sufficient space in case the person being overtaken unexpectedly changes direction. 12. Providing assistance. In the event of an accident, every Speedrider is responsible for providing assistance, always without causing greater risk or injuring themselves. While descending, if we see someone injured, we must choose to continue our descent until landing and notify the resort's pistes and mobilize help. It is useless to try to land earlier, causing danger to others or injuring ourselves. 13. Identification. All Speedriders who witness an accident, whether or not they are responsible for it, must identify themselves and exchange names and addresses. 14. Information. Speedriders are obliged to seek information from the ski resort or through the channel provided by the resort, in order to know the status of the Speedriding area, the regulations, and any internal rules for carrying out the activity. GENERAL COMMENTS ON THE SPEEDRIDING RULES OF CONDUCT (2017) Speedriding, like all sports, involves risks. The Speedriding Regulations should be considered an ideal model of conduct for responsible speedriders and their objective is to prevent accidents in designated areas. The Speedriding rules apply to all speedriders, who must know and respect them. When failure to comply with these rules causes an accident, the perpetrator may be held civilly or criminally liable. Rule 1 Speedriders are responsible not only for their own conduct but also for their defective equipment. This also applies to those using state-of-the-art equipment. Rule 2 Collisions are usually caused by disorderly departure (thin sails), crossing during landing, excessive speed, uncontrolled behavior, or insufficient attention to traffic in the designated area. Speedriders must be able to anticipate their movements in the environment, prioritize their own safety and that of others, and be responsible for their actions. In crowded areas or places where visibility is reduced, and especially at changes in gradient, at the ends of the zones, If we are riding in the designated areas, we must moderate our speed and even abandon the activity if it is not possible to descend without compromising our safety or the safety of others. Rule 3: Speedriding is a free-moving sport where everyone can go wherever they want within the designated area (this has a starting point or "takeoff" and a finishing point or "landing"), respecting these rules and adapting their speedriding style to their personal ability and the conditions on the mountain. The Speedrider in front has priority. A Speedrider sliding behind another Speedrider in the same direction must maintain sufficient distance between themselves and the other Speedrider to leave the preceding Speedrider enough room to move freely. Rule 4: A Speedrider overtaking another Speedrider assumes the responsibility of completing the maneuver without causing any difficulty to the Speedrider being overtaken. This rule applies even when overtaking a stationary Speedrider. We must arrive early at the end of the designated area so as not to get in the way of Speedriders when approaching the mountain. Land and be able to do so safely. Rule 5. Accessing the designated area or resuming the descent after a stop can cause accidents. It is therefore absolutely essential that a Speedrider in this situation enter the designated area without causing obstructions and without danger to themselves or others. Once the slide has resumed—even slowly—the Speedrider benefits from the priority provided for in Rule 3 over other, faster Speedriders coming from above or behind. During a Speedriding descent, since we move in various dimensions, it is possible that some turns or changes of direction may even be made against the slope. It is therefore essential that they ensure in advance that they can do so without causing danger to themselves or others. Rule 6. As far as possible, we will try not to make stops during the descent; we will stop in the area marked "Landing." If this is not possible, stops must be made at the edges of the designated area. Stopping should not be done in narrow places or where it is difficult to be seen from above. Rule 7. Movement against the flow of general traffic creates unforeseeable obstacles for other speedriders. Footprints damage the slope and are dangerous for skiers, snowboarders, and other speedriders. Rule 8. The designated areas are marked according to their decreasing level of difficulty: Freeride, Advanced, Progression, and Initiation. Speedriders are free to choose the desired area, provided they have sufficient qualifications and skill level to perform the activity without endangering themselves or others, and the external conditions are adequate (non-turbulent aerology). The designated areas may or may not be marked, with hazard warnings or closure notices. Signs indicating slope closure or danger warnings must be strictly observed. Speedriders must assume that the warning signs are posted in their own best interest. If they are not marked, the speedrider is obliged to obtain information about the status of the designated area from the resort, speedriding school, or the channel provided by the resort. Speedriding. Rule 9. A fundamental principle for all athletes is the obligation to provide assistance in the event of an accident, regardless of any legal obligation. This consists of providing first aid to the injured person, alerting the rescue service, and marking the scene of the accident to alert other speedriders, skiers, and snowboarders. The Speedriding Rules and the FIS regulations in force at the resort expect any speedrider who flees without identifying themselves after causing an accident to incur criminal liability, as is the case with traffic accidents. All countries where legislation has not yet criminalized this will eventually impose equivalent penalties. Rule 10. Witnesses are of great importance in writing a complete and accurate accident report, so everyone must fulfill this moral duty as a responsible person and report as a witness. Reports from rescue services and the police, as well as photographs, significantly assist in determining potential liability. Rule 11. Speedriders are obliged to inquire at the ski resort and the speedriding school. or through the channel provided by the resort, to find out the status of the Speedriding area, the regulations and possible internal rules for carrying out the activity. These Speedriding Regulations are based, in addition to the Paragliding Rules that may affect us for the activity, on the Rules of Conduct of the International Ski Federation (FIS) for skiers, adapting them to our Speedriding activity: 1. Respect for others. The Speedrider must fly-ski in a way that does not endanger or harm others. 2. Respect for the signage, direction and Speedriding technique. The skier must respect the signage. 3. Choice of the enabled area. In the Speedriding area, the Speedrider must take into account the safety of others and their own safety before the activity, taking into account the state of the snow, weather conditions, visibility, capacity level, these reasons or others not listed here being sufficient to desist from the activity. Speedriders in group must be aware of the fineness of their Speedriding equipment with their wing loading, so that we do not hinder each other on the final approach to landing, during the flight we must maintain a safe space to be able to move freely. 4. Overtaking. Overtaking can be done from the right or the left, but the overtaken Speedrider is not obliged to give way to the one overtaking him, although he must allow a faster Speedrider to overtake him whenever possible. 5. Crossings. The Speedrider who crosses another Speedrider in the opposite direction must avoid it by turning to his right side. The descending Speedrider has priority. If, when approaching an obstacle or slope, one of the two cannot turn to his right, the oncoming Speedrider will have to anticipate the dodge to the right, even if he descends and has priority, in this circumstance he would lose it and the safety of both would prevail. The first Speedrider would maintain his straight trajectory. 6. Speed control. The Speedrider must Adapt your speed to your skiing level, the conditions of the designated area, visibility, and the level of saturation in the area. Speedriders must maintain a safe distance from other Speedriders in front of them. As a last resort, they must opt for a top-landing to avoid collision with another Speedrider. 7. Stops. Speedriders who stop must leave the passing area of other Speedriders or potential skiers. In the event of a fall, they must clear the passing area without delay. 8. Accidents. In the event of an accident, every Speedrider has the duty to provide assistance. 9. Identification. Every Speedrider involved in an accident, whether as a witness, responsible party, or not, must clearly identify themselves. 10. Information. Speedriders are obligated to seek information from the ski resort or through any channel provided by the resort, regarding the status of the Speedriding area, the regulations, and any internal rules for carrying out the activity. THESE RULES MAY BE UPDATED OR MODIFIED, IT IS THE USER'S DUTY TO INFORM THEMSELVES OF CHANGES

* Ask at the ski resort or the Speedriding school. At the ski resort or Speedriding school, we can inform you about the activity and the status of the designated areas. The resort's signage, as well as the instructions given by its staff, are vital for the proper functioning and harmony of the resort; we must obey them. The ski resort may close areas for various reasons, and we should not assume that flying past them does not affect us. If a slope is closed, it is also closed to our activity. Speedriding areas are limited, and it is the user's responsibility to inform themselves about them, their status, uses, the start and finish areas, and how to proceed while practicing the activity. * Speedriding areas (Zone 1 and Zone 2). Introductory courses are held in Zone 1. Progression and freeride courses are held in Zones 1 and 2. Upon completion of the courses, students will be authorized to participate in the activity independently in the corresponding area of the course, provided they have met the minimum course objectives. * Regulations and rules. There are Speedriding Rules and Regulations, and the rules for its practice, which we must be familiar with. They are published by the FADA (National Speedriding Federation) and on this website. * Federation License (FADA), or APPI insurance: It is mandatory to have a valid insurance that covers the activity, in order to practice Speedriding at the Cerler ski resort. To do this, you are free to obtain the insurance wherever you want, but it is necessary to specify that it covers the "Speedriding" activity. Through the FADA (Aragonese Air Federation), it is possible to obtain a federation license that covers the activity in case of incidents and accidents with third parties. Students who attend our school will have the recognition of the APPI Speedriding qualification, and can also opt for the APPI license (www.appifly.org). * Identification vests for the "Speedriders Free" activity. To avoid possible accidents or incorrect use of the facilities at the Cerler ski resort, we provide identification vests for anyone who wants to practice speedriding/speedflying independently within the area of the resort. These vests are free of charge, but a 10 euro deposit is required. They will be returned upon return at the end of the activity. They will be left for each day of use. When returning these vests through Speedriding.es, we will inform you of the designated slopes for the activity. The activity is prohibited outside of these areas. Furthermore, pisteurs and resort employees will recognize us as Speedriders to keep us under control, since the largest area for the activity is off-piste, and if we need help, they will easily identify us. On the other hand, anyone who participates in the activity without the vest or outside of the designated areas may have their pass revoked. REQUIREMENT: having taken speedriding courses at our school or demonstrating prior experience in the activity. We will be practicing near the resort's mechanical equipment and close to skiers. Speedriding.es is not responsible for possible accidents involving participants in the activity.
