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
