Ski flying world championship
The World Ski Flying Championships are held every two years (in even years), alternating with the Nordic World Ski Championships (in odd years). The first Ski Flying World Championships took place in Planica in 1972 . In addition to the individual competition, a team competition has also been held since 2004.
Ski jumping hills
There are four fully functional ski flying hills around the world .
| place | Jump | Hillsize |
|---|---|---|
 Oberstdorf

Heini-Klopfer ski jumping hill | HS235 |
 Planica

Letalnica | HS240 |

The ski jumps and the Čerťák flying hill in Harrachov, Czech Republic, had rotated in a fixed rotation since 1983 for the purpose of hosting the World Ski Flying Championships. A world championship was never held on the sixth flying hill, the now completely outdated and disused Copper Peak in Ironwood , USA .
After the ski jumping hill in Vikersund, on which the 2010 World Championships were to take place after the rotation, no longer met the requirements of the FIS , it was rebuilt and Planica was brought forward for the 2010 World Championships. The 2012 championships were only held in Vikersund. Since the 2014 World Cup in Harrachov, the established order has been in effect again. After these championships, the Čerťák flying hill had to be shut down, so that Harrachov fell out of rotation.
Regulations
In the ski flying world championships, each nation is allowed to start four jumpers. The reigning ski flying world champion can take part in addition to the four jumpers from his country. In contrast to all normal World Cup events, the results of four (instead of two) rounds, which are carried out on two days, are added together for the evaluation . The team competition will be decided in two rounds like a World Cup event.
