A short overview: how flying works here, where the sites are, and where to find more. Check with the national body or a local club or school before flying.
Overview
How flying works here
National body: Federação Portuguesa de Voo Livre (FPVL) (opens in a new tab)
Visiting pilots
- Portuguese law requires free-flight pilots to hold third-party liability insurance.
- FPVL treats valid licences from FAI-member national bodies as equal to its local-flight licence without thermal flying; higher levels need more.
A short summary, not legal advice. Rules change, so check the current requirements with Federação Portuguesa de Voo Livre (FPVL) before you fly. Summary checked 13 Oct 2026.
Federação Portuguesa de Voo Livre (FPVL): current rules for visiting pilots (opens in a new tab)Learning to fly
- The FPVL says learners should choose an FPVL-certified school using certified instructors and approved teaching methods.
- Personal accident and liability insurance is compulsory for pilots, instructors and students during all stages of flight training.
- The FPVL publishes its list of member schools online, showing each school's permit status.
