What is
Paramotoring?

“Parmotor is a recreational and competitive flying sport where you launch from a hill or mountain and glide through the air using a lightweight, free-flying wing.”

PARMOTOR

sport overview

Paramotoring, also known as powered paragliding, involves flying a paraglider wing powered by a small engine. The engine, typically worn on the pilot’s back or mounted on a lightweight frame, drives a propeller to provide thrust. This thrust enables pilots to take off, gain altitude, and travel long distances without depending on wind or specific terrain features like mountains.

Key Features of Paramotoring:

  • Powered Flight: The engine generates thrust, removing the need for wind or high terrain, allowing takeoff from flat, open ground.
  • Lightweight Equipment: The motor and frame are compact and portable, making the sport more accessible.

Advantages of Paramotoring:

  • No Need for Special Terrain: The engine allows pilots to launch from flat areas, unlike paragliders who require slopes or mountains.
  • Extended Flight Durations: The engine facilitates longer flights over greater distances compared to non-motorized paragliding.

FAQ

What is a paramotor?

A paramotor is a type of powered paragliding with a small motor mounted behind the pilot. This motor allows the pilot to take off without needing slopes, making it different from traditional paragliding.

Does paramotoring require special training?

Yes, paramotoring requires special training with a certified instructor. The pilot must learn how to control the canopy and motor, as well as how to handle weather conditions and safety measures.

Is paramotoring safe?

Paramotoring is safe when safety procedures are followed, and flights are avoided in bad weather conditions. The equipment is designed to be reliable, but pilots should perform regular maintenance and checks before each flight.

What is the altitude and speed range of paramotoring?

Paramotors can reach altitudes of up to about 3,000 meters (10,000 feet), though most pilots prefer to fly between 150 and 300 meters for greater safety. Speed typically ranges from 25 to 40 kilometers per hour, but it can be increased by adjusting the motor and type of canopy.
