Starting Powered Paragliding?

Advice for Paramotor Pilots: |Top Ten Safety Tips | Download Brochures

Here is a quick overview of powered paragliding. Need an instructor? Here is a list of certified schools. Powered Paragliding or paramotoring is the simplest, most portable, affordable, and possibly the safest way to get into the air—but get un-biased advice to avoid disappointing and sometimes dangerous sales information.

Get reimbursed for part of your training! See details here

Risk & Reward, The Essential DVD
It is the essential DVD for aspiring Powered Paragliding Pilots. If there's only one DVD you see about PPG, Risk & Reward with William Shatner should be it! Details | Reviews
 

Map Yourself!

Let other pilots know where you are in a graphical format. Add a marker, include your picture, comments and a contact for visiting pilots. Visit www.Frappr.com/PPG.

The Radio Show

It's a full hour of discussion centered around paramotoring. Listen live or via the archives as pilots share their passion every week at www.PoweredParaglidingRadio.com.

USPPA Store


A number of USPPA logo'd merchandise items are available for purchase from the USPPA Store.  You can see pictures and make purchases on line.

Community Forum

The USPPA invites all to join in a public discussion group for all subjects related to Powered Paragliding. Its similar to a newsgroup: the PPGbigList (moderated) or the PPGList (un-moderated). You do not have to be a USPPA member to participate in either nor does USPPA control them. 

Magazine
Membership includes  the most amount of  monthly magazine coverage ever enjoyed by paramotor pilots. Don't miss another issue of UltraFlight.

The About PPG Brochure (above) shows the basic parts of our craft and answers the most common questions. You can download and print it or buy them for $15 per 100 which is much cheaper than printing individually.

Read the part just above "Be Careful." Sometimes it's best to get right to the point as this Aerothrust does on its safety warning.
