Paramotoring

FROM THE GROUND UP

by Noel Whittall

The first time you see someone strap on a paramotor, start up and fly away from a field, the procedure can seem almost magic. Can the age-old dream of flying really be as accessible as this? Yes it can and you can do it.

Flying a paramotor is achievable by anyone who has reasonable physical co-ordination and the patience to learn properly. All this at a fraction of the cost of flying a conventional aircraft or microlight.

Paramotoring is the ultimate form of personal powered flight. This is the aviation sport for everyone with a tight budget but a thirst to fly. A paramotor outfit doesn't demand airfields and hangars. It will fit in the owner's car and can be flown from small fields.

This book is a broad introduction to all aspects of this young sport. From inflating the wing to understanding an aviation chart, it deals step-by step will all the skills and knowledge needed to fly safely and confidently. A must-read for anyone interested in the powered paragliders.

Sections include - How Does it Fly?, Mastering the Wing, The Air and the Weather, Rules Laws and Airspace and a Training Syllabus. This book will reveal many of the things which will help you to become a safe paramotor pilot and help you to avoid any pitfalls along the way.

Reviewer: PILOT Magazine
"Paramotoring is well laid out, easy to understand, and fully illustrated - a comprehensive and very useful book which deserves to be kept handy by anyone thinking of flying powered paragliders."
