Is the IPPI Card accepted in your country ?

What is the minimum legal insurance coverage required in your country ?

There is no legal requirement for minimum insurance coverage, but JHF requires all pilots to become a member of JHF, with which they will be provided third party liability insurance coverage.

What additional coverage does your country recommend (such as medical insurance, search and rescue etc...) ?

JHF recommends all pilots join its group insurance contract which covers medical and rescue expenses.
