Powered paragliders are useful as
replacements for terrestrial vehicles in difficult terrain. In some areas
during the spring when the sea or lakes are still frozen but the ice has begun
melting, the waters cannot be walked, skied, or driven on and cannot be
navigated by boat. Hydrocopters, hovercraft, and aircraft are the only ways to
travel in such conditions. Furthermore, if the landscape is fractured by small
and shallow lakes and bays, as in swamplands, it may be difficult to navigate
even in good conditions. Observation and counting of protected species, e.g.
Saimaa ringed seal, in such conditions has been conducted using a powered
paraglider.
Another use that has been demonstrated is
the herding of reindeer. Although the tundra is open terrain, there are no
roads and the terrain is still uneven. A powered parachute can be used instead
of a snowmobile or a motorcycle.

This sport has evolved and now many
advanced pilots perform extreme maneuvers such as wing-overs, barrel rolls and
loops. These types of maneuvers present a significant danger as any type of
negative G's encountered will unload the wing allowing the wings lines to go
slack. Only very advanced pilots with years of experience, training and coupled
with countermeasures such as reserve parachutes should attempt such maneuvers.
A reserve parachute is a highly recommended piece of equipment which may
prevent significant injury or death in the presence of a malfunction of the
equipment or a mistake made by the pilot.
Powered paragliding, also known as
paramotoring or PPG, is a form of ultralight aviation where the pilot wears a
back-mounted motor (a paramotor) which provides enough thrust to take off using
a paraglider. It can be launched in still air, and on level ground, by the
pilot alone — no assistance is required.

Regulations
In most countries, paramotor pilots operate
under simple rules that spare them certification requirements for pilot and
gear. Those laws, however, limit where they can fly—specifying that pilots
avoid congested areas and larger airports to minimize risk to other people or
aircraft. U.S. pilots operate under Federal Aviation Administration regulation
Part 103.
Associations
In the U.S., the sport is represented
primarily by the US Powered Paragliding Association (USPPA)[note 1] which also
holds an exemption allowing two-place training by appropriately certified
tandem instructors. The US Ultralight Association (USUA) and Aero Sports
Connections (ASC) also offer some support.
Instructors in the U.S. are primarily
represented and certified by the United States Powered Paragliding
Association(USPPA). Other organizations include the Professional Association of
Powered Paragliding Instructors (***PI).
In many countries, including the United
States, powered paragliding is minimally regulated and requires no licence. The
ability to fly both low and slow safely, the 'open' feel, the minimal equipment
and maintenance costs, and the portability are claimed to be this type of
flying's greatest merits.[1]
Powered paragliders usually fly between 15
to 50 mph (24 to 80 km/h) at altitudes from 'foot-dragging on the water' up
about to 18,000 ft (5,500 m) or more with certain permission although most
flying is done under 500 ft (150 m) AGL.[2] Due to the paramotor's slow forward
speed and nature of a soft wing, it is not safe in high winds, turbulence, or
intense thermal activity.
Paramotoring is Paragliding with an
auxiliary motor attached to the pilot. The CAA has defined this recently
legitimized form of powered flight as a foot launched self-propelled Hang
glider (SPHG). This does not mean that Paramotors are deregulated, They still
have to comply with all U.K. aviation law, and some specific restrictions of
their own (Click Image to read PDF syllabus here). However these small aircraft
allow you the freedom of the skies, with less red tape and costs than any other
powered aircraft. With the ability to be able to take off from a small flat
field and climb a Paramotor can fly just like any other aircraft. Para motors
can have enough fuel to fly for between 2.5 - 4 hrs, can climb to around 500'
per minute and fly at between 25 to 45 mph. At Axis training we have a lot of
experience with Paramotoring, our first flights were in 1993 on Scobojets, and
we have learned a lot and developed great teaching techniques ever since. We
prefer if possible to have most of our Paramotorists, learn as much on the
paraglider as they can prior to flying a Paramotor. This helps them become much
better, safer and more confident pilots.

Noise
Paramotor noise relative to an observer
depends on distance, loudness, frequency and timbre of the power unit. Most
noise comes from the propeller and slow rpm is perceived as the quietest.
Pilots mitigate their sound impact by leaving a noise-sensitive area at low
power, keeping the farthest practical distance away, and reducing time spent
near the area.
License and training
Neither a license nor specific training is
required in the U.S., U.K. or many other countries. Where there is no specific
regulation (e.g. Mexico), paramotor flying is tolerated provided the pilots
cooperate with local officials when appropriate.[citation needed] In countries
where specific regulation exists, such as Canada, France, Italy, and South
Africa, pilots must be trained, both in flying theory and practice, by licensed
instructors. Some countries that require formal certification frequently do so
through non-government ultralight aviation organizations.
Regardless of regulations, powered
paragliding can be dangerous when practiced without proper training.
