Equipment

From Hang Gliding Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search

Sooner or later, a hang glider pilot becomes a hang glider owner. Most schools provide equipment up until you receive your Novice (Hang 2) rating, some do not. While there are a few places that feature rental equipment at reasonable rates, they are the exception rather than the rule. Once you have your Novice rating, you will want your own equipment. This will include:

  • Glider
  • Wheels for the glider
  • Harness, which attaches you to the glider
  • Helmet
  • Parachute
  • Instrument panel, which pilots call a vario

Additionally, you'll need a way of transporting your glider, and some place to store it.
