Malgré son apparente simplicité, la pratique du parapente nécessite l'acquisition de connaissances variés, principalement dans trois domaines : Les techniques de pilotage. [...] La connaissance de l'air. L'air dans lequel évolue le parapentiste est un milieu très complexe et sans cesse changeant. Il renferme de nombreux pièges que le parapentiste doit apprendre à éviter. Il faut plusieurs années pour bien intégrer les données de base et la vie entière pour chercher à comprendre toujours mieux les phénomènes aérologiques et météorologiques. La connaissance de soi-même. Le parapentiste est seul maître à bord : il est responsable de ses choix et de ses décisions. 3, record 1, French, - pilote%20de%20parapente
