  2. Paragliding requires the skill of being in-charge of the glider with extensive knowledge of equipment, weather and wind currents. • Pilots must understand what are the feasible conditions for conducting successful tandem paragliding flights. It is the trait of pilots to take complete advantage of different types of wind currents and drafts for a successful tandem flight.In this article, we explore the methods to control the paraglider under varied circumstances during tandem flights.

  3. Role of Equipment • The equipment plays a key role in letting the pilot control the flight and its trajectory. The lines connecting the paragliding wing to the pilot’s harness lets them steer the wing left or right. • As per the course of the flight, pilots can control the direction of the flight using those lines. There are risers that form a connection between the lines and the harness. • These risers can be used to control the flight as well. In addition to it, brakes are there that enable pilots to change the speed and direction of flight. Pilots must note that in any case when brakes malfunction, the risers connecting to the rear of the wing can be used to steer and slow the tandem paragliding flight.

  4. Role of Launch Spots The topography of the launching sites is important in determining the launch technique that must be used to embark on the tandem paragliding flight journey. For instance, on flat terrain, a standard launch is made by moving forward.

  5. Other Techniques Coring In paragliding, coring refers to the core of a thermal air column. It occurs when a flyer enters a thermal and circles around it with the paraglider. Ridge Soaring A risky paragliding technique that involves flying along the ridge of a mountain or a hill. It requires a careful approach as any mistake can result in a mishap. Landing As the paraglider approaches the land surface, pilots can choose to make either the classic aircraft approach or the figure-8 approach. Depending upon the landing spot, pilots can make a suitable choice for landing.
