Dharamshala, Oct. 28 -- Solo paragliding flights at Bir-Billing in Kangra district resumed on Tuesday. However, it will remain subject to stringent safety conditions, the local administration in Baijnath said. The development comes after solo paragliding flights were suspended on Monday in view of adverse weather conditions and recent paragliding mishaps in the region, which resulted in one death and serious injuries to few others. The fresh directions mandate strict compliance with the Himachal Pradesh Aero Sports Rules, 2022, the National Air Sports Guidelines, 2023 and other regulations. A Bulgarian solo paraglider, who took off from Bir-Billing, was killed in a crash on Sunday evening near the Rising Star peak. Earlier that day, two other foreign solo paragliders were rescued from Dhauladhar mountain range after crash landings. Under the order, issued by SDM Sankalp Gautam on Tuesday, all solo pilots, including visiting and foreign pilots, must possess valid flying credentials, complete the prescribed registration formalities and carry mandatory safety equipment. Visiting pilots must also keep their documents, including pilot licences and insurance covering paragliding accidents and search-and-rescue operations, available for verification. Pilots have been directed to assess weather conditions before flying and refrain from taking off during strong or gusty winds, rainfall, poor visibility, excessive cloud cover, thunderstorms or other hazardous conditions. The order also requires pilots to carry communication equipment, a fully charged mobile phone, a power bank, first-aid supplies and appropriate emergency and survival equipment. Meanwhile, the authorised paragliding marshals at Bir-Billing have been directed to verify pilots' credentials, registration and safety equipment, monitor changing weather conditions and stop flying operations whenever necessary....
