Pilot requirements

Flying a paraglider calls for appropriate training and a sound know-
ledge of the subject, and of course the requisite insurance cover and
licences. A tandem pilot must be able to correctly assess the mete-
orological conditions before taking off. His or her capabilities must
match the responsibilities of tandem flying.
The wearing of an adequate helmet, suitable shoes and clothing of
pilot and passenger as well as carrying an emergency reserve pa-
rachute are indispensable. All components of the equipment must
be checked for damage and airworthiness before every flight. A
thorough pre-flight check should also be carried out.
Each pilot bears sole responsibility when making a tandem flight.
Neither the manufacturer nor the seller of a paraglider can guarantee,
or be held responsible for, the safety of pilot and passenger.
