Paramotoring, or Powered Paragliding, is an amazing sport — the cheapest way to fly! The gear is also very compact and there’s no licensing in the United States (although training is strongly recommended).

There’s a nice brochure here with some of the more frequently asked questions. But also please feel free to ask below and I (or someone else) will try to answer! :)

Note: I realize this is a niche community, so feel free to ask even if this post is old!

    Is that I assume that is 18,000 MSL not AGL right?

    That makes sense. Though it seems kinda fun to do once just to see how high they will go. I might have to see if there is a school near me. I might be able to pull off affording one.

      Yeah MSL. I think all airspace is MSL, except for class G

      You should check it out. I know instructors often are happy to let you come out and watch, even do an introductory class for free, so there’s no commitment.
