Unite, animate, pilot


The KRISTAL CUP brings together FFA licensed pilots and helps to animate the local life of flying clubs.

Participating in the competition promotes mastery of flying in a fun and innovative way.

FUN Mode

Entertainment goal.

Simpler preparation work, expected precision in trajectories more accessible. A score is still calculated for each participation but there is no ranking, and therefore no loser.

GLORY Mode

Competition goal.

The preparation work must be complete. The expected precision in the trajectories is demanding. A score is calculated for each participation. Ranking of participations to determine the winners.

Minimum speed of 80 knots or 100 knots.

Ensures an equivalent level of difficulty despite the difference in speed, allowing for a single ranking.

Automatic scoring.

All events of the KRISTAL CUP are evaluated through an automatic scoring system integrated into the KRISTAL.air application.

5 events registered in a Box.


The box is a "box" consisting of an entrance and exit door. The pilot must pass through these doors or risk being eliminated from the event. If the pilot misses an event, they can still continue to participate in the other Boxes.

What is the flight time to complete the events?

The flight time for the events is about 30 minutes.

Is the number of participations limited?

No, you can participate as many times as you want.

Who can participate?

The competition is open to all FFA licensed pilots.

Is participation free?

Yes, participation is 100% free, just like the application which is available on the App Store and Play Store.

Are there prizes to be won?
