A paraglider does not fly in air in general, but in the air of a specific day — its pressure, humidity, temperature and turbulence. How the atmosphere works, where thermals, wind and clouds come from, and how to tell a flyable day from a few forecast numbers and the view from the window.

A paragliding accident almost never has a single cause. It is a chain of decisions, and it can be broken at any link. Pre-flight check, launch rules, right of way, risk management, human factors, emergency landing, calling for help in the mountains and first aid.

Why a soft wing flies at all and what the pilot really controls. Angle of attack, forces and balance, drag, the speed polar, glide ratio, wing geometry, loading, turns, stalls and collapses — with formulas and worked numbers.
