We have a couple County parks in South Florida that we are legally allowed to use only if we have our PPG2 rating, flight insurance $350 annually, and park flying permit for each park.

In order to get the insurance you will need to join the USUA for a paramotor registration number and the USPPA. More fees... The PPG insurance company the USUA uses is based down here in Ft. Lauderdale, FL.

Probably get a hold of the FAA/FSDO and establish a CTAF and get the field published on sectionals as a private airfield. Call it "Lazy Acres Recreational Air-park" or something like that. The focus would be paramotors and powered parachutes, but light sport/experimental aircraft would be permitted as well. If I'm building a strip it's going to be about 2000 feet long, so might as well.

Hey, Tucker. I live in the township and was shocked to see that sign show up at the park - especially since it goes unused for so many hours of the week - especially early morning or evening. Anyway, glad you made a video to discuss. I am an avid RC pilot who has used the field and plan on becoming a Paramotor Pilot in the next few years. I know our mayor is a very reasonable person which is why I know it’s not the end of flying at the park! I’ll keep an eye out for the next township meeting and if possible, bring more support for the sport.

[@user2C47]

Doesn't a certain amount of airspace (ground level up to a certain altitude) belong to the property owner?

[@MykArd]

User 2C47 There is no specific height of airspace that a property owner owns. They do have the right to use airspace above their property (eg to build a structure, plant a tree, or even fly model airplanes), and it is possible for a pilot to infringe that property owners rights either by trespassing into airspace that should reasonably be reserved for the property owner, or by creating a nuisance to the rights of the property owner (violation of privacy or noise nuisance for example). So there are some rights as a property owner, but they are not rigidly defined.

You are a pioneer of the sport Tucker and have ceaselessly promoted it as the ambassador you are and for that we are all grateful. Now that the powers that be have their eye on it and are clearly pandering to the extreme minority of complainants, (yet somehow that minority have leverage?) says to me that money will become involved. So, as we all know - money talks and you have nearly 1 million, quite probably generous subscribers...wouldnt take a huge donation from each of us? wonder what that land is worth?.. I mean they could still play their ball games (for free -no permit required) and walk their dogs etc - at the newly named Tucker Gott Field of Dreams...

Move. Once you comply, they just demand more compliance. Or run for office your self.

Tucker, nice job on this issue. My crew and I off-road dirt bikes. It’s the noise. That’s what gets people riled up. Small groups, common sense, courtesy, etc. go a long way. Banning is the easy solution for non-participants. Keep spreading the word.

Be careful with your word choice you said “it’s easy for the township to ban paramotor FLYING”...the township can’t ban the flying...what they could do is ban the takeoff and landings of paramotors. Thus, limiting the access to the flying as an intended byproduct. The word choices seem petty to people outside the legal system, but with legal issues they are hugely important.

[@eduaguirre5482]

Well according to the sign he can't fly with the park boundaries. So basically they did ban flying

[@thomascalton3067]

Accurize2 is right. The township can only limit takeoff and landing spots. Once you are in the air you are in FAA federally regulated airspace. No matter what the sign says, only an FAA flight restriction can regulate where the actual flying takes place. That being said, Tucker and friends would not be helping their case by taking off somewhere else and buzzing the park right now.

[@eduaguirre5482]

@@thomascalton3067 So why did they ban flying over the park, which is what the sign says. So pretty much whoever put up that sign broke a law?

[@thomascalton3067]

@@eduaguirre5482 whoever made the sign and put it up just doesn't understand the correct legal wording. If the sign said "No takeoff or landing within park boundaries" then it would be legitimate as far as FAA airspace is concerned. No state, county, municipality, or even private landowner can restrict the airspace above the ground only the FAA.

[@kahmysan]

Robert JJ Yes the park can only limit those who takeoff and land in the park, or those who operate RC aircraft and are controlling those aircraft while being physically in the park. Any airborne vehicle, RC or otherwise, may overfly the park until the FAA limits the airspace above the park, so long as the operator never touches the ground inside the park.

[@56932982]

Well. See it this way. Here in Germany powered paragliders are regulated as microlight / ultralight. You need a proper pilot license (simplified version of a PPL) to fly them and you _must_ use air fields. Starting or landing outside an air field is not allowed. Even unpowered paragliders need a license and _must_ use special, dedicated take off and landing sites. Takeoff outside an officially registered and approved take off site is completely forbidden. You have to land at the landing site associated with the takeoff site, unless you have an extended "unrestricted paraglider license". So your situation, even with the restriction at the park, is quite luxurious.

[@bryanbsa8927]

would that park be considered a PUBLIC park if so then your and our tax dollars pay for it and anyone should be able to have full use of that it would be like the town or city saying the sidewalk you walk on is private property and you have to pay to walk on it, Ridiculous, just saying

[@natemeyers6895]

The township may have an additional concern about liability; specifically their own... they don't want get sued in the case of an accident, to the paramotor pilot or anyone else involved; kinda like third party insurance on your vehicle. In process of permitting these "legal" issues can be addressed and culpability can be assigned in advance. Also, they will be able to ban certain individuals who are constant f'ups. Not you of course.

[@BigIron_06]

Looks like it is time to run for Mayor. They could free up space at the park by banning soccer as it is far more dangerous (with all of the concussion injuries no one likes to talk about).

I think paramotors are simply beautiful to look at. Your photography is awesome. I do have serious reservations about noise. Nobody goes to the park to hear 35cc 2-cycle motors blasting. As the sport increases in numbers, this will surely become an issue. Better mufflers? How about electric power?

Lease some of the nearby land from a farmer. It will be reasonably priced and as your flying community grows the individual cost will be next to nothing.
