A Beginner's Guide to Paragliding
As a new sport paragliding was not taken very seriously at first. How could a person stay in the air for hours at a time, while skydivers with parachute drops land on the ground? The answer is quite simple – with the right equipment and understanding of the fundamentals of Newtonian physics. Paragliding may look daunting to those who have not seen it before, but the natural evolution of this novel sport has spread improved understanding and more mature judgment to many more people – which is a good thing for everyone in the end.

The story of paragliding starts in 1978 with three Frenchmen, Jean-Claude Betemps, Andre Bohn and Gerard Bosson. nha trang paragliding refined the technique of running and launching at Mieussy in France and the sport was born. Ten years later it was added to the hang gliding world championships, and since then pilots have been soaring, competing, and trying ever more adventurous things in the skies.

Paragliding is a global sport with an estimated 125,000 qualified pilots worldwide. This book explains the fundamentals of paragliding and teaches pilots to fly. It explains how to take off, land, and cruise on a regular basis, and it also explains the more advanced techniques of acrobatic flying, coastal soaring, and hike-and-fly. It covers all the specialist equipment needed including harnesses, reserve parachutes, thermalling instruments and tools, and it includes a comprehensive aerology primer explaining how air moves and how hills affect it.

From there the book introduces students to the physics of flight and shows how the simple, elegant wing design works. It teaches students to set up and tow the glider on low hills and then to fly them on their own at lower altitudes where they can practice handling the wing 'overhead' and navigating through varied terrain. Eventually students can learn to control the wing in turbulence, and to stall and spin in controlled conditions.

The book also includes a comprehensive guide to the rules, regulations and safety issues in paragliding. It is written to the broad teaching curricula of BHPA and USHPA (the two main paragliding associations) and it is suitable for pilots worldwide. It is a fun and easy to read introduction to a fascinating, and very safe, aviation sport. giá dù lượn nha trang is available at all major paragliding shops and centres worldwide. Ed Sherburne is a writer, editor and paraglider instructor who has flown in flatlands in Scotland, mountains in India and xc in South America. He has written about free flight for the Guardian and FT, worked on events like the Red Bull X-Alps and X-Alpine and edited Cross Country magazine. He teaches at the School of Piloting in Edinburgh. His passion is free flight and he believes that quality kit helps people to fly further, more safely and more often. The cost is not prohibitive but the marginal advantages of a well-fitting, comfortable and reliable wing can make all the difference to the pilot on his or her quest for bird-like flight.
