Hang gliding is an aerial sport in which a pilot flies a light aircraft made of aluminum alloy while ensconced in a harness suspended from the frame of the craft. Although primarily a sport, hang gliding is also considered a recreational activity with many people learning how to fly a glider. Australia currently has approximately 9 world record holders in hang gliding and many companies in the country are leading manufacturers of hang gliders.
Hang Gliding Federation of Australia is a sporting body that represents the interests of hang gliding enthusiasts and administers the activity under the Civil Aviation Safety Authority's regulations. It is also recognized by the Australian Sports Commission and affiliated with the Federation Aeronautique Internationale through the Australian Sport Aviation Confederation with approximately 2,500 members.

Paragliding in Australia
Paragliding is an aerial sport that involves the pilot being suspended below a fabric wing or parachute. The pilot is loosely and comfortably buckled into a harness. Launching can either be done by forward launch, reverse launch, and towed launch. Landing can be done by flaring the wing to minimize vertical speed just before touching down.
The interests of paragliding enthusiasts in Australia are also represented by the Hang Gliding Federation of Australia. The body controls every aspect of the activity under the regulations set forth by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority of Australia.
