It is alleged the man was offering unauthorised tandem paragliding flights. (File photo)A Wānaka-based paraglider pilot allegedly offered tourists unauthorised tandem paragliding flights. They follow a Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) investigation launched in November 2020 after a concern was raised about the man. The rules cover flights in paragliders and hang gliders, hot air balloons, war birds, microlights, gliders, and tandem skydiving jumps. CAA deputy chief executive Dean Winter said the authority worked to protect tourists who rightly expected exciting but safe adventure flights.
