3. Proposed dates of Championship May 22 to June 5, 2021. These dates are in line with the ones selected for the various PWC events that we organised. We know from experience that the weather is the best you can expect in our region at this time of the year. Also, this is outside holiday times, so there will be less free-flying pilots around and the competitors who have high-level professional activity during the summertime (training, tandem...) will not be penalised. Here is a link to visualise a review of the weather conditions. https://www.historique-meteo.net/france/rh-ne-alpes/savoie/

Here is the weather for the month of May during the last 10 years.

2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018

4. Competition allowing the organiser to bid Air Evènement, under Philippe Roea’s responsibility, has organised many competitions with 100+ pilots, including:

• One PWC in May 2014 • One PWC in May 2017

Both events were a success, underlining the quality of organisation, the hospitality of the local people, the festive mood at the headquarters. In 2019, we will organise one PWCA event in the same venue and with the same organisation that are planned for the World Championship. We thank PWCA for its trust and believe that the 2019 event will be a tremendous asset for a successful World Championship.

5. Local Organiser (LOC) Air Évènement will be associated with the FFVL (French Federation of Free Flight). FFVL’s professional technicians will help us make the championship a success in all aspects, during the championship, of course, but also during the 2 years leading to it. FFVL, when backing up this major event, shows its willingness to serve our sport internationally at the highest level.

6. Sporting Power The French Federation of Free Flight (FFVL) has delegated power from the French NAC: the Aeroclub de France.

Didier Mathurin – Meet Director Didier is currently the French team, but will not be it if our bid is successful! Didier is also a very good pilot. He knows perfectly what pilots are expecting. His great experience will benefit the whole championship.

Philippe Roéa – Event Director Philippe is one of the paragliding personalities of the region and has good contacts with local authorities. To bring the public and the pilots together at the same place will be one of his main goals.

Pierre Naville – Safety Director Founder of Les Passagers du Vent, a training school with over 35 years of experience, Pierre organised many World Cup or international Open events in Haute-Savoie. He is a kind of an icon, passionate and with a friendly approach, always here to make our sport progress.

Ulrich Jessop – Scorer and live tracking A key actor of the PWCA, Ulrich is to this day the best in his field. When Philippe asked him to join the organisation, he agreed without hesitation.

Chris Trow – Safety and live-tracking Chris is the long-standing Ulrich’s partner within the PWCA, making sure that live tracking is used at its best to insure added safety and retrieve for the pilots.

Biodiversity is of concern. • We will work in partnership with the National Park of the Bauges. • Flight over the RNCFS is forbidden. • Sensible areas around the nests of the Peregrine falcon and the Golden Eagle will be protected. • Pilots instruments will be able to show these areas thanks to the Open Air file.

Power lines will be clearly shown on the task board along the chosen task.

Dossier de candidature CdM Parapente 2021 9/15

16. Airspace The Open Air file and briefing map integrate all restricted areas.

17. Landing It will be at headquarters, weather permitting. Headquarters are very friendly for the pilots, public, adults and children alike. See points 26 and 36. A nice place to share!

18. Weather

In springtime, thermals are good in this area due to the difference in height between the valley floor and the top of the ranges. They are expected to be around 3 m/s. Congestus or cumulonimbus are a possibility in the evening but are easy to predict when you know the area, and we do!

• NNW wind is a big help to trigger them. • SSE wind gets us the foehn around the Italian border, but until now it never stopped us from flying a

task. • S wind is not common but we can deal with it and fly tasks in well-protected areas like:

o Cœur de Savoie: good up to 40 km/h when it’s impossible around Annecy or St-Hilaire-du-Touvet. Tactical and technical tasks.

o Passy Plaine Joux: good with Mont Blanc as a protection. Nice task on Sallanches’s valley.

Task time should be from 11:30 am to 3:00 pm, depending on weather conditions and take off site.

19. Meteorology We will have a dedicated person to:

• Analyse the information available • Explain the weather during the general safety briefing • Prepare weather for each leaders’ briefing • Anticipate and explain the weather 5-day trends throughout the championship

Nous porterons ensemble le dossier devant la commission Internationale de vol libre. Avec ses paysages magnifiques, le site « Cœur de Savoie » jouit d’une excellente réputation pour la pratique du parapente. Il bénéficie d’un environnement exceptionnel : de larges vallées au cœur des montagnes, et d’un savoir-faire incontesté dans l’organisation de manifestations de grande envergure. Le parapente, l’une des activités les plus médiatiques du vol libre, offrirait donc à la France, avec ce championnat, un des grands évènements sportifs de l’année et un rayonnement toujours très apprécié sur la scène internationale. Reçois, cher Philippe, ainsi que toute ton équipe, mes salutations cordiales et sportives.

Véronique Gensac Présidente de la FFVL.

Dear Philippe, The French Federation of Free Flight is proud to bring its support for the candidacy of your structure " Air Evènement " for the organization of the World championship of Paragliding of Cross-country in 2021. We shall carry together the file in front of the International committee of Hang gliding and Paragliding. With its magnificent landscapes, the site " Coeur de Savoie " enjoys an excellent reputation for the practice of the paragliding. It benefits from an exceptional environment: of wide valleys in the heart of mountains, and an undisputed know-how in the organization of large-scale demonstrations. The paragliding, one of the most media activities of the Free Flight, would thus offer in France, with this championship, one of the big sports events of the year and a brilliance always very appreciated on the international scene. Receive, Dear Philippe, as well as all your team, my cordial and sports greetings.

Veronique Gensac President

Dear President, On September 14th, 2018 we received an application for the subvention linked to the organisation of a Paragliding World Cup for 2021. After the study of your application by the sport direction and the presentation of your project in front of the technique committee as being part of the new instruction procedure GESI 2018, I’m honored to inform you that the committee agreed on granting you a subvention which could reach €50,000 if France was to be chosen as the official organisers of this event. This amount of money is here mentioned for indicative purpose. In order to conclude on this engagement, a convention mentioning the support conditions will be sent to you by my services as soon as possible. If you were chosen to organise this event, may you please send the projected budget to the sport direction and the up-to-date technique file so that it would be reviewed and therefore would be granted the effective amount of the subvention which will be engaged by the State. We look forward to your response, Sincerely yours, Roxana MARACINEANU

Dear President,

By e-mail of November 20th, you were kind enough to announce us your wish to give evidence beside Of the International Aeronautical Federation a bid for the organization of the Championships of World of paragliding of cross-country running, in Cœur de Savoie, of May 22nd to June 5th, 2021.

We deeply wish that this application is retained and it is with pleasure that I’Aeroclub de France will bring you its assistant in the organization of this event. Catherine Maunoury President

Dear President, I have received your mail where you mention the French Hang-Gliding Federation as applying in the name of France to organize the 2021 Paragliding World Cup in the territory of Savoie Mont Blanc. The landscape, the numerous mountains, and our territory is rich in all kind of different natural sports and offer a vast playground to all the competitors of hang-gliding. Your successful experiences as organisators of sets of World Cup on this very territory are a real guarantee for your application for the International Hang-gliding Committee. This 2021 Paragliding World Cup would deeply fit the idea of showing the know-how and welcoming power of the territory Savoie Mont Blanc as reinforcing its attractiveness. We are deeply supporting your application and the Conseil Savoie Mont Blanc is naturally by your side today. Being at your disposal, and waiting for you to be designated as the official organisers of the 2021 PARAGLIDING WORLD CUP, we offer you our very best wishes. Yours faithfully, Christian Monteil, President

Dear President, We have taken into account your mail where the French Federation of Hang-Gliding expresses its wish to organize the 2021 Paragliding World Champion Cup. You had brilliantly organized the 2014 hang-gliding world cup; it had been a great success and so was it on May 2017. We deeply believe that it will be the same in 2019. You have highly celebrated the Combe de Savoie, and the exceptional site of the Ferme des Gabelins which became the base of the organisation and of all the landings. From Montmélian to Albertville, all the inhabitants could admire at one point or another all the beautiful multicolored wings flying high in the mountain background. You can be sure that the village of Chamousset will be on your side, and we will proudly provide you with support to your application. We are therefore at your disposal, and we send you our best regards, Yours faithfully, Yannick Logerot Mayor of Chamousset

Subject: Letter of support to the application to the 2021 Paragliding World Championship The territory of Coeur de Savoie, situated between the preAlps and the Alps, sees its sky filled up for more than 40 years with big colorful wings, which makes us dream and feel light. The hang-gliding adventure started in Coeur de Savoie in the 1980s with the first hang-gliders. It went on naturally, in the 90s with the first paragliders, and the organisation of hang-gliding through dynamic and willful associations. At the end of 2000s, the responsible agents (associations and local representatives) decided to launch an opportunity and development study on hang-gliding, conscious of the importance it could play in the future of our activity on the territory. Passion, encounter and also work could lead in 2014 to the organisation of a first set of the Paragliding World Cup. This first international sport event allowed many human encounters between professional athletes, everyday paragliders and inhabitants. This amazing bet was experienced as a great moment, and only was the first step of a wider adventure… “Citius, Altius, Fortius” the territory remained engaged and welcomed the 2017 and 2019 World cup, showing that hang-gliding is deeply rooted in our territory as shows the logo of this very letter. The territory of Coeur de Savoie will proudly stand up, from a financial and organisational point of view, so that the 2021 PARAGLIDING WORLD CUP will take place in France once again. The application follows the work of passionate actors of the territory symbolized by “Air Evènement” but also thanks to the collaboration of all the sport and institutional facilities. We will be happy to welcome, on Spring 2021, the teams from all around the world as much as all the passionate people who will, for sure, be there too. This application is deeply respectful of the values of sustainable development. “Air Evènement” worked towards a green approach by using local resources and by implying local actors not belonging to the world of hang-gliding too. There is no doubt that the Paragliding World Cup taking place in Coeur de Savoie will be a great sport event but also an amazing popular celebration.
