Question
Excuseme me, but there is not the specific space for my question; my be you can guide any way.
I would like to know how can I get a "international license" as pilot in this two modalities: Hangglider and paraglider. And what else for to be an instructor with license. I´m 58 old, and I'm flying since 20 years ago. Thank you very much.

Answer
I'm not really very knowledgeable about the area you're asking about.  In the USA, there is no license required to operate a hang glider or a paraglider, but I really don't know about international licensing.  I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help, perhaps one of the other AllExperts could answer your question better.
