Actually I prefer the PPC powered parachutes!
- ground skimming(popular) to altitudes as high as 18,000+ ft.
- 25–35 mph
- 5-10 gallon ~= 3 hours
- take off/landing < 100 ft. grass
- 1 seater = $5-10,000
- 2 seater = $15-25,000
In the United States, most single place PPCs are flown under part 103 of the Federal Aviation Regulations and, therefore, may be flown without a license or flight instruction. Flight instruction is, however, highly recommended, and an average student can learn to fly a PPC safely with 5 to 10 hours of flight instruction.
Two-place PPCs are light sport aircraft in the United States. The pilot must have at least a sport pilot certificate issued by the FAA to fly them. A minimum of 15 hours of flight instruction, and 5 hours of solo as a student pilot is required to obtain this
