The Day Tour / Day Course and Tandem Paragliding Flight is a paragliding introductory course designed to give the student an overview of handling and using a paraglider, a high-level overview of aerodynamics, appropriate weather conditions and safety issues when flying a paraglider. This course is insufficient to prepare The Student for passing on his own. To do that, one must take a complete beginner’s course, Parapro 2 or equivalent, conducted by a certified paragliding flight school. The instructors of Flybypara are all rated by SHV-FAM-BHPA. SHV is a certified ultralight Swiss federation and The International Airsports Federation (FAI).
