The Papillon Flying Handbook “Paragliding today” summarises the theoretical basics of paragliding that are relevant for the theory exam for the A-licence.
Student pilots can use the Pilot’s Handbook to prepare in advance for their paragliding course. If you are already flying, you can use it to refresh or update your flying knowledge.
For a comprehensive description of the topics of flight weather and flight technique, we recommend the practical manuals Gesamtwerk Paragliding: Volume 1 – Meteorologie and Volume 2 – Flugtechnik (both books are currently only available in German, translations in English and Spanish are in preparation).
