Thanks for watching!

You’re a great teacher. You never insult any student, you turn their mistakes into positives

[@joshuastanaland7099]

All paramotor instructors should watch this video. The analogies used are creative and easy for a new pilot to understand. Brilliant!

[@berserkerlocksmith]

Llevo volando un año y gracias a tus consejos tanto en despegues como en aterrizajes me han servido para mejorar y perfeccionar mi técnica. Desde España... muchas graciassssss... :)

[@1337PINKLoki]

In all paramoters are just a perfect example of how reaching for the skies is not impossible 👇

[@TenMillionYearProgram42]

Micah, you were an awesome instructor! Love this video; its like my mentor lives in my pocket!

[@jimcr120]

Gotta give Reese props for allowing us to learn (and laugh) perhaps at his expense . Thanks again Micah; I like your detailed explanations with analogies and humor.

[@dejavukrewe]

I love to learn!

[@glbaker5595]

I live in southeast Kentucky on lake Cumberland, do you guys know of any specific leti's in this area that trains and helps a person learn to fly and purchase equipment, thanks for the info

[@samik83]

Awesome video. Even though I've been flying a few years, there's some great tips here and it's just an overall good refresher.

[@Patrick_cb]

I had about 12 flights in the past few days with Paralab school ( great guys ) in Spain and loved it Your videos were really helpful. Thanks again

[@Ireland0406]

Wow! Thank you so much! A ton of useful informations and so reassuring to have such a resource at hand for a pilot to be! I'm currently training with a flying school in the province of Quebec, Camada (Les Caribous Volants), about to do my first solo, this recent post is a Godsent! I'm sure I will be much more relaxed on the big day, having this wealth of infos (hopefully!) integrated through my muscle memory. Very good teaching and a lot of crucial cue points that are simple enough to keep in our head while launching. Very important, 'cause we all know that there's not much space left in that brain the second we commit to take-off! Thanks again, keep up the good work!

[@flying-j]

Good info-Thank you! I've had three flights. It's funny how everyone is watching you when you take off and land. I've just gotta remember that I watch because I enjoy seeing it and am not waiting for them to screw up.

[@Robbo1966]

A great resource video, so much information to assist new and existing pilots, thanks again team Aviator

[@LorenCox]

Super helpful!

[@cattnipp]

love it!!

[@rmbru2k]

Training was fantastic, flying on my own now, feeling the process every flight. I remember watching this video for the first time. I am watching it again. What did I miss, or what forget, or need to regain focus on?

[@gymkhanadog]

Woo! OneWheel out there reppin' it.

[@adamgiles8850]

Great job Micah. You should consider teaching people stuff for a living.😀

[@Seadog9511]

😄❤️

[@kylewolfman]

Amazing video I can't wait to go thru training at Aviator of course 🤘🕊️

[@aviator]

We have space available as soon as next week! We’d love to have you!

[@falconron4217]

I love being towed, It's so much fun. I wish I could find a paramotor that launches that great. 185 is close.

[@IrvRat1982]

If you were a lineman in college, I played center at 5'8" in the NBA. 😆 But point taken. Keep those feet moving during launch.

[@liftedppg4370]

Anything’s possible! 😂

[@lt.dansparamotoradventures2592]

Good info

[@jetskiwillywilly7970]

[@mn1k174]

Superior stuff - the definitive guide anywhere (as is your Landings vid).

[@Apeekachu]

Ima buy one off wish tonight. Wish me luck

[@NavaDownSouth]

I have a bad habit of not releasing A's then keeping my hands too low.

[@wompstopm123]

im for sure gonna get a trike attachment for this shit before flying it

[@BoredFlyer]

OK just watched your video! After getting my gear I’m gonna go try this out thanks for the help! Jk jk . Great video

[@Seadog9511]

😡😂

[@joshuastanaland7099]

The PPG Bible has over 220 topics and sections. My favorite quote is "You will spend more time on launch than everything else in this book combined"

[@stephenasamoah7839]

how much is a paramotor ?

[@alfranwahyudi6108]

[@TheGarageBandSyndicate]

You won't see me in shorts on training day. Lol

[@Seneslau07]

I've watched more ppg videos and can't stop wondering if starting directly with ppg and not pg is a comon practice? I thought you have to be in the pg for a while before you get in the powered flight. These students makes you think is guite hard to bring the wing above and run straight with it and I don't know if it's because they don't know much about it or they fly pg for years but ppg is that hard.

[@Logan4661]

To answer your first question, no you don't need to fly PG before PPG. Most of the decision about which you fly has to do with the terrain where you live. To your second question, these students probably have about a week or so of experience with kiting before their first flight. As far as making it look difficult, just realize that they are just starting to learn several complex skills all at once and none of them are like anything else that you experience in daily life. It's also important to realize that PG isn't easier to fly or to learn than PPG, it just has a different set of complexities.

[@Seneslau07]

@@Logan4661 Thank you!

[@libertyforamericanow]

I think this sport needs a coil made with internal remote kill switches

[@dinnyconway695]

Can you take off on 50% power

[@aviator]

Depends on the motor!

[@turkeyphant]

@@aviator And your AUW. And the wing. And the altitude. And the pressure that day.

[@dejavukrewe]

Depends on the wing

[@Logan4661]

@@turkeyphant And the slope of the hill you're running down... or up.

[@Masteroftee]

I think that screaming over radio doesnt help... I would preffer calm and steady voice with commands... That dont make people panic.

[@MDK-oq5vb]

haha gonna steal that WIFI .....

[@aviator]

Do it!

[@Macnas]

Vomit of information? Interesting turn of phrase🤣

[@driesvdg8743]

U ever drank a beer on a paramotor? That is my new life goal

[@sigeruish]

Your hands are too low, aren't they?

pshh i dont need a professional your just saying that

Do that piece of garbage motor off get a vitorozi😊

[@evm3908]

I'm not feeling the presenter in this vid, I don't feel his confidence, his baby face doesn't help, and the tone of his voice is too fem, I bet if AJ did this vid your enrollment #'s would double, just saying, I"m sure he is a nice guy! just not camera ready, he has not convinced me, so I must respectfully decline. (It's just feedback, this is not to be taken personally)

[@salqubeq5203]

Really good video! Thank you for making this!
