 Federal Aviation Regulations
For Paramotor Pilots
See also
Sport Pilot & Powered Paragliding
Our
sport is basically self-regulated so you are not required by law to be a
certified pilot. However, proper training is required to safely fly and navigate
ever more crowded and sensitive airspace. Understand that the theory is that a
pilot operating such a light vehicle that its damage potential to
non-participants is much less.
No
effort is made to keep the participants safe - only the non-participants. That
is why it is critical that new entrants take training seriously - just because
the training is not REQUIRED does not mean it is any less necessary to ensure
YOUR survival!
Powered Paragliders fall into the category of Ultralights.
In the United States, the
only regulations that ultralights, including powered paragliders follow are
included in the Federal Aviation Regulations, Part 103.
