In line with the FAI vision statement, the French Parachute Federation is keen to make this statement a reality. In addition to actions taken to encourage more women to participate in the sport, the Federation has worked hard to make parachuting accessible to people with disabilities.
For a number of years already, France has implemented a programme to give the opportunity for physically handicapped people to experience parachuting as tandem passenger using a specially adapted tandem harness. Selected tandem instructors were specially trained by the medical commission of the Federation to understand the special needs of certain handicaps.
