When you purchase your PPC, we will gladly be there to help answer question and provide the necessary training. Our goal is to promote the sport of powered parachuting in terms of safety, ease of operation, versatility, durability and cost. Our flight instruction follows the flight training syllabus of the Areo Sports Connection (ASC).
A PPC is one of the safest aircraft you can fly. It's also one of the fastest growing recreational sports in the United States. You can learn to fly for far less than you probably thought. It's slower than typical aircraft , about 28 to 30 MPH, so the view is fantastic! PPC's are different than any other type of conventional or ultralight aircraft, fixed wing or rotor wing craft. The main differences are its unparalleled safety due to its pendulum like stability and its para-wing. Having a very stable parachute deployed constantly from the time it leaves the ground, makes it the safest aircraft flying.
A stall or structural failure is nearly impossible in a PPC. Even an engine-out provides a gentle, soft landing instead of the catastrophe it usually is in other aircraft.
When you are taxiing, you move the steering lever, located on the left side of the airframe to go left and right . In the air, you turn left by pushing the left rudder tube with your left foot, and right by pushing the right rudder with your right foot - all this while flying at a constant, slow airspeed of 26 mph. When you wish to climb, you increase the throttle and to descend you decrease it.
Nearly anyone can learn to fly in just a few hours at a flight park. Complicated, lengthy flight training such as is required for general aviation or fixed-wing ultralights is simply not necessary or required for this aircraft.
