The APPI Lexicon, a Paragliding Glossary… and more! Manu Bonte (10914)
01 February 2026INFO | paragliding paragliding
APPI E-learning is enhanced with a new feature: a paragliding glossary. This resource brings together common paragliding terms, each accompanied by its precise definition. It also includes words and expressions specific to guiding, whose particular meanings call for well-defined actions.
In the future, each glossary entry will be enriched with links to other APPI educational resources. This interconnection will create a true web between E-courses, the manual, exam questions, and commented videos, offering a more complete and coherent learning experience.
The objective of this glossary is twofold: to provide pilots with a tool to better understand common terms in depth, but also to establish a common vocabulary to facilitate communication between students and instructors within the APPI school network. On the other hand, it aims to become a multilingual reference tool.
Currently, this glossary is being translated by highly qualified experts. This process requires considerable thought and sharp precision. We thank you for your patience if your language is not yet available, as we are committed to ensuring the quality and accuracy of each translation.
