Paragliding does not only look easy and safe – it actually is. Thanks to the Papillon standards for safe paragliding, almost anyone can experience the great adventure of flying today. However, paragliding can quickly become an extreme sport; for example when out of ignorance or carelessness a too sophisticated glider is flown in meteorologically challenging conditions.This pilot handbook teaches you the theoretical and practical basics which are needed for safe paragliding. It does not replace the theory lessons, but will support you in preparing for the theory test towards your licence.
