  • Kite Buggy Race Licence Assessment Handbook
    KITE BUGGY RACE LICENCE ASSESSMENT HANDBOOK This handbook contains all the information you need to know to take your race licence test. Contents 1) Race Licences Explained……………………………………………………… Page 2-4 2) PKA Written Test………………………………………………………………. Page 5-7 3) PKA Practical Test…………………………………………………………….. Page 8 4) PKA General Code of Conduct………………………………………………. Page 9-10 5) PKA Rules of Racing………………………………………………………….. Page 11-20 1 1) Race Licences Explained Open Class Licences All pilots attending a PKA or any other national race event, such as the Supercup, must hold a minimum of an Open Class Licence. This is to satisfy our insurers and to ensure the safety of all pilots, marshals and 3 rd parties. Please note, you do not necessarily need a licence to race at your local club events – please check this with your club. The aim of licence assessment is to make sure everyone is competent, safe and aware of the basic rules of racing and the rules of the road. It’s not actually that daunting; you don’t need to be a world beater or to be able to perform complex manoeuvres. Any competent buggier who’s invested a bit of time to understand racing rules will pass without a problem. Licence testing is available at some PKA events but we recommend that you contact your regional licence assessor and arrange to attend one of their assessment sessions in advance of events if possible. It is free to actually take your test, but there is a small admin cost of £5 (payable to the PKA) to issue the licence.
