 香港滑翔傘協會對是次申訴專員公署主動調查民航處對滑翔傘活動的規管持正面態度。民航處多年來持續參與對滑翔傘運動的協調和規管，過往亦曾發出相關指引。 我們希望是次調查對加強香港滑翔傘運動的規管及法律框架有積極的改進作用。

作為滑翔傘運動的本地體育總會，我們希望推廣滑翔傘運動丶完善有關操作和安全程序，這對所有飛行員及市民的安全和滑翔傘運動未來發展非常重要。

滑翔傘運動在香港越來越受歡迎，優美的山脈提供了適合進行滑翔傘運動的地理環境，幸運地香港的氣候環境提供了適合飛行員一年四季的飛行時間。這項運動不單止吸引了飛行員，也吸引了許多市民觀賞，並且亦有來自世界各地經驗豐富的飛行員來優美的香港享受飛行運動。

The Hong Kong Paragliding Association welcomes the direct investigation by the Ombudsman to examine the Civil Aviation Department (CAD)'s regulation of paragliding activities. The CAD has proactively improved the sport’s regulation and coordination over the past years. We believe it is now a good time to take stock and to review how the legal framework can be enhanced to further the sport of paragliding in Hong Kong.

As the National Sports Association promoting paragliding, we look forward to assist with input on operational and safety procedures and practices.

Paragliding has become increasingly popular in Hong Kong. Our many accessible mountains allow for ample flying time in many different wind directions. These conditions have been attracting many residents to enjoy paragliding as well as experienced pilots from around the world to come and fly in Hong Kong.

Please visit our website for more information about paragliding in Hong Kong.

We were honored to have avid pilot Micky share with us his paragliding experiences using zoom for the first time

In case you missed, here’s a replay of the online knowledge sharing session with Micky.

Micky shares his extensive flying experience of 30 years and will be a fellow paragliding buddy we’ll definitely see more of him at the take off.

In this first episode, we pick his brain on his views on safe progression, considerations when choosing the right equipment, and why understanding your motivations for flying are important.

Here are some of the key points for those in a rush:

-Understand what your motivations are in paragliding - Why do you fly?

-SIV may not be for everyone

-The harness you choose can change the characteristics (and passive safety) of your wing

-Cobra Launches are the best way to have a controlled inflation in strong wind

-To progress and improve your flying - Be open minded and have an objective or goal in mind each time you fly

-Progress at your own pace!
