Paramotor is the generic name for the
harness and propulsive portion of a powered paraglider ("PPG"). There
are two basic types of paramotors: foot launch and wheel launch.
Foot launch models consist of a frame with
harness, fuel tank, engine, and propeller. A hoop with protective netting
primarily keeps lines out of the propeller. The unit is worn like a large
backpack to which a Paraglider is attached through carabiners,动力伞.
Wheel launch units either come as complete
units with their own motor, or as an add-on to a foot launch paramotor. They
usually have 3 (trike) or 4 (quad) wheels, with seats for one or two occupants.
These should not be confused with Powered Parachutes which are generally much
heavier, more powerful, and have different steering.

The HGFA Training Syllabus is through, and
our extensive training programs are considered one of the best in Australia,
taking you well beyond the minimum requirements giving all pilots a solid
foundation.
Our Paramotoring course starts out learning
the techniques and skills involved in Paragliding. After several hours of
ground handling, you can expect to take your first solo flights at our private
training field. When you have mastered your launching, landing and basic glider
skills, you will progress to your motor training.
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).
The pilot controls thrust via a hand-held
throttle and steers using the wings brake toggles or stabilo steering, weight
shifting or a combination of the three. It is identical to Paragliding except
it is powered so the use of an elevation or thermals to ascend are not
required. Paramotor wings have evolved specifically for use with power
propulsion, as compared with free flight 'paraglider' wings. Such wings are
typically designed for a higher speed and may incorporate a "reflex"
profile to aid stability in pitch, an idea taken from hang gliders of the
1980s. Paramotor wings typically use trimmers to adjust the Angle of Attack of
the wing to either slow it down or speed it up in flight. Trimmed out allows
the pilot to achieve maximum speed, while trimmed in allows for slower speeds
optimized for launching and landing.
