Gosh, I don't know about certification in two weeks, but even the training is a blast. I own a PPC & a fixed wing. I wish I could breed them & see what I get.

[@EasyFlight]

Powered parachutes and fixed wings are both cool. Two weeks is doable with a study ahead of time.

[@TM-tw1py]

That is a wild visual to have.

[@jamesvarga312]

You'd get one of those hang glider trikes, yeah?

[@MabrysDad]

My dreams consist of low and slow.

[@EasyFlight]

Mine, too!

[@BigRedDog-z3b]

I had reached the same conclusion a while back! Lol! 😅🎉😂❤

[@ChubbsMcgoo]

The more I see videos like this the more I start wanting to get more into this. I've always been into aviation but never had any resources to really start. Plus I think I may be too old to start.

[@EasyFlight]

You would be surprised at how old you can be and still learn to fly. It's more difficult as we age, but it's still possible for most people.

[@waynelalonde4778]

about 16 months ago I'm 46 years old and the first time I flew it it was so easy, it's never too late I got a friend of mine that's 82 years old that I fly with

[@eflaaten]

Please see paramotor crashes for perspective. If the chute is slightly off center during takeoff thing go bad so quickly

[@Tlasheen]

Hello What would be the cost to get the license And where do you train?

[@EasyFlight]

I train in Greenville, Illinois and Dunnellon, Florida. To learn more about the operation, visit www.easyflight.com

[@dave7-ark439]

Flying to 12,000ft in UK dont need license ,Am skydiver so got canopy control,flight logbook etc,what you need a license for,Me n my brothers wanting 1 each new,.we members of BPA ,FAA we doing a 8 hour course first ,we want reserverig to sit on too,is it same thing ? 👍

[@EasyFlight]

No license would be great! Lucky you! That machine can actually take up two passengers for skydiving. I've never done it, but some military people have.

[@smallnuts2]

There should be 3 seat models. 2 seats side by side in back. Couples would want to go together.

[@EasyFlight]

Nice comment. But that has been done. Unfortunately, the licensing of both the pilot and the powered parachute is a little complicated.

[@smallnuts2]

@@EasyFlight do they make a 3 seater? I would like to get into this if there is.

[@deanfowlkes]

@@EasyFlight - Is the only difficulty with the license that you would need to have a Private Pilot Certificate and Basic Med versus having just a Sport Pilot Certificate?

[@deanfowlkes]

I would love to see a three seat model with the two side-by-side seats up front. Do they make a model where the controls are on the rear seat or by hand toggles like a PPG?

[@EasyFlight]

Three seaters have been built, but it gets complicated. They can only be certified as experimental amateur-built. And then you would need a private pilot powered parachute rating, which is more difficult to earn than a sport pilot rating. (US rules, of course.)

[@andrewhart6200]

Unfortunately - the traffic looking at this video is NOT going to be as it was intended I don't think....you can see something like this in one of the latest "UAP" vids....not this exact model but close in Syria

[@EasyFlight]

Yeah. Most anything can be turned to evil purposes.

You’re dead meat in a storm.

[@EasyFlight]

I'm not sure I understand your point. You are dead meat in many aircraft, motorcycles, and boats in a storm.

[@ivonedic498]

This is called paramotor, not powered parachute. Edit: Actually its powered parachute.

[@EasyFlight]

OK. 😀

[@joshperryppg]

As someone that flies paramotor, you are so wrong. That is a PPC.

[@ivonedic498]

@@joshperryppg I did a research now and I see that I am wrong. Shame on me 🥲

[@StreuB1]

@@ivonedic498 Why shame on you? It is not shameful to be incorrect or misinformed. People need to show themselves more grace. It is OK to believe something, and find out that it was incorrect. It takes a big heart to then come back[on the internet] allow ones self to stand corrected. Good on you! :-)

[@ivonedic498]

Thank you sir
