Foreign ratings equivalence
資歷互換
Anyone undertaking paragliding activities within the territory of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region should possess a HKPA paragliding rating to illustrate you are qualified, competent and fit to conduct the paragliding activity. The HKPA certifies individuals qualified to teach and certifies paraglider at various levels of competence. Holders of FAI recognized foreign pilot rating may apply for HKPA rating through equivalence. As HKPA adopt APPI system, APPI rating could be directly convert to HKPA rating.在香港特別行政區範圍內從事滑翔傘活動的任何人，應持有香港滑翔傘協會的滑翔傘証書以闡明自己具備合適資格和能力，及身體狀況適合的情況下進行滑翔傘飛行活動。本會認證具不同程度技能的滑翔傘運動員 。持有FAI認可機構發出的滑翔傘證書者，可透過互換制度獲取香港滑翔傘協會的滑翔傘証書。由於香港滑翔傘協會與APPI合作採取該系統，APPI資歷持有者可以直接轉換為HKPA資歷。
