Who can be a PPG Pilot?
- I’m not teaching PPG students in Canada anymore due to HUGE resistance from bureaucracy. So you need to find your own way to learn PPG. I can help with equipment to get factory prices and avoid “newbie” mistakes.
- In Canada you need to get Ultralight Pilot License from certified by Transport Canada instructor.
- You can become a student at 14 years old and begin flying.
- After 16 years of age, even if you are 150 years old, you can became a licensed Ultralight / Powered Paraglider Pilot.
- Medical Fitness – Category 4, and it is self-declared. If you feel that you can fly – you will fly.
- If you can run 30-40 meters / yards with 40-50 lb / 20-25 kg on you back, you can learn foot launch.
- If not – Trike or Quad wheel launch will be your option.
- Weight is not a factor as modern PPG equipment can fit your requirements
