Eesti Lennuspordi Föderatsioon (Estonian Air Sports Federation): current rules for visiting pilots (opens in a new tab)Learning to fly
- The federation's paragliding committee issues pilot certificates; you apply through a member club, and these clubs also run the training.
- Estonian paragliding ratings follow FAI/CIVL SPP (CIVL's pilot training standard); the first rating (PG-2) needs at least 10 flights.
