What is Paramotoring?
Paramotoring is paragliding with power. A two-stroke engine with a propeller is attached to the back of the pilot along with the paraglider. With the help of a throttle the pilot accelerates the engine and gets pushed forward. 스포츠토토 The paraglider inflates and starts generating lift proportional to the thrust of the engine. After gaining the desired altitude the pilot reduces the amount of throttle and cruises. He can control his rate of ascent, decent, turning, landing etc. A Paramotor is termed as one of the smallest aircraft in the world. It is capable of traveling long distances, gaining great heights like 10,000 feet if not more and staying up for hours together. Unlike other conventional powered aircraft it is capable of taking off and landing in small open fields.

Where can I learn Paramotoring?
We have the facilities to train interested people to learn paramotoring. It generally takes around 15 to 20 days to learn paramotoring. The training is subject to weather conditions. There are two stages of training a) basic b) intermediate. You could ask for the syllabus for both the courses. It is recommended that one should have some experience on flying paraglider.

Can anybody learn to fly a paramotors?
Yes, anybody above 18 years of age and in good physically condition can fly a paramotor. It is recommended that one completes the non-powered paragliding course before taking up paramotoring. Paramotoring also demands knowledge on meteorology, theory of flight, air navigation, and air regulations. It is important that you learn from a qualified and experienced Instructor.

How safe is Paramotoring?
Paramotoring is safe to a pilot who has done training under a professional Instructor and has gained sound knowledge in related aviation subjects. Learn the correct standard operating procedures. Regularly inspect the flying equipment. Do not venture into areas without landing fields. Generally speaking paramotoring has very good safety record. It is very rightly said, “Any kind of flying can be made as safe or as dangerous as you would like to have it" This very much applies to Paramotoring too. Do not take unnecessary chances. Listen to your inner self. Read the weather. Maintain your equipment in good condition. We don't' see why things should go wrong.

What is the safety equipments required for paramotoring?
Paramotoring also requires the same safety equipment which is used while flying a non-powered paraglider, i.e. Good ankle protection shoes, helmet, knee guards, soft leather gloves, wind sock and a reserve parachute.
What is the noise level of a paramotor engine while flying?
The noise level of a cruising paramotor can be compared to that of a lawn mover. The take-off noise is more compared to the cruise. It is certainly not disturbing to the Pilot. Once gained the desired height, the pilot may reduce power or switch off the engine and start soaring in a thermal. The newer generation of paramotors are substantially quite.

How much is the weight of a paramotor and is it heavy for the back?
Single seater paramotor weigh approx. 18 to 25 kgs. In the beginning it may feel heavy. It’s just a matter of getting used to it. Carrying the paramotor on the back, we sometimes walk almost half a kilometer to the car park, after landing, You get inside the harness half a minute before the take-off and once taken off the paraglider holds the weight of the engine independently. During flight there is no engine load on the pilot.

How fast can one fly?
The speed of a paramotor is limited to the speed of the paraglider which could be around 35 to 50 kms per hour. But the ground speed depends on the wind speed and the direction. You can cover distance faster if you fly with the wind and slower against the wind. Paramotor is generally used for recreation more than as a mode of conveyance.
