A Paraglider is a lightweight, free-flying, foot-launched glider aircraft with no rigid primary structure. The pilot sits in a harness or lies supine in a cocoon-like ‘speed bag’ suspended below a fabric wing. Wing shape is maintained by the suspension lines, the pressure of air entering vents in the front of the wing, and the aerodynamic forces of the air flowing over the outside. Once a person has achieved the skillset, to fly the Paraglider solo, he earns the title of a Qualified Paraglider Pilot.

The Qualified Paraglider Pilot is a 100% embroidered patch for those who do not need engines to fly.
