General Principles of International Training Standards — 4 materials · 135 min read
FAI (Fédération Aéronautique Internationale) sets 5 key standards in paragliding: SafePro Para training system, IPPI card for international recognition, Sporting Code (Section 7) for competition regulation, EN 926 equipment certification, and safety protocols.
FAI/CIVL system, SafePro Para methodology, IPPI Card, European federation training systems, and EN 926 certification — comprehensive theoretical material.
The IPPI (International Pilot Proficiency Identification) card was introduced in 1992. It is an internationally recognized document issued through FAI/CIVL that certifies a paragliding pilot's SafePro Para stage, enabling them to fly abroad.
The FAI/CIVL SafePro Para program defines a 5-stage pilot training system — from Ground Skimming to Master Pilot. This material covers each stage's requirements, skills, IPPI card integration, and international recognition mechanisms in detail.
