Abstract

Hang gliding is probably the closest a person can come to experiencing bird-like flight. Unfortunately, the precise skills needed to fly a hang glider are difficult to teach through demonstration or verbal instruction. Consequently, many people's first few flights are awkward and sometimes dangerous. A hang gliding student's first flight is a solo flight, so control errors are understandable. However, every effort must be made to minimize these errors.
