Paramotoring

In the Air

Paramotoring is an exhilarating sport that combines the thrill of flying with the power of a small motor. Pilots wear a lightweight paramotor, a motorized parachute, to lift off and glide through the air. By adjusting the throttle and shifting their body weight, they can navigate freely, enjoying smooth, scenic flights over a variety of landscapes.

FAQs (EN)

  • How fast do you go while paramotoring?
    The speed during paramotoring can vary, but it typically ranges between 20 to 40 mph (32 to 64 km/h). The motor helps you maintain steady flight, and you can adjust your speed depending on the wind and your control of the wing.
  • How long does a paramotoring flight last?
    The duration of a paramotoring flight can vary. A typical flight lasts between 30 minutes to 1 hour, but some experienced pilots can fly for several hours, depending on weather conditions and their fuel.

Fundamentals (EN)

  • Energy Management
    Managing energy means knowing how to use speed, altitude, and wing movement together. It’s important for advanced maneuvers like wingovers, spirals, or safe landings after engine-off.
  • Dynamic Launch
    A dynamic launch is used in low-wind conditions. The pilot runs hard and uses strong arm motion to bring up the wing quickly. It needs timing, skill, and precise power use.
  • Spiral Dive
    A spiral dive is a very fast downward turn with a lot of G-force. It’s used to lose altitude quickly. It’s dangerous if not controlled and needs training to exit safely.
  • Glide Ratio (L/D)
    This is the distance you travel forward compared to how much you lose in altitude. A 9:1 glide ratio means 9 meters forward for 1 meter down. It's important for engine-off landings and cross-country flying.
