In India paragliding
is not yet regulated by any body. We do not need any
license to fly. This does not mean one can fly anywhere.
One cannot fly in sensitive and restricted areas. You
may be stopped by local clubs from flying their site if
they feel you do not have adequate experience.
Certification course as the name suggests certifies you
for flying at various sites independently. In this
course, you are given certain tasks which you practice
and are logged in your certification book. The
instructor will supervise and endorse these tasks in
your book.
