The use of anemometer is very important, to detect how much wind speed we need to fly paragliding.

In passing, there is a resemblance between paragliding and parachuting. But the parachute on paragliding is more functioning as a wing. By using paragliding we can fly hover for hours, can increase the height with the help of hot air currents up and down. Because of this, there are things to be understood and mastered by a paragliding athlete but not needed in a parachuting sport.

The mountainous region is a suitable place for paragliding because its surface contour can produce the rising air currents needed by paragliding to be able to soar to the air to the height that is considered safe. The lifting force posed by the rising air currents is a common way for a paragliding (pilot) flight to be longer and more enjoyable. But after lately used a lightweight propeller machine on paragliding, the current air ride was not much needed anymore.
