Why a Powered Parachute Instead of a Fixed Wing Craft?
• The most important reason is safety. Powered Parachutes have unparalleled safety in the aviation industry. The reason for this is the “wing” employed by this type of aircraft. The wing of a powered parachute is formed by the parachute, and because of its inherent characteristics and constant airspeed of the craft, it is virtually impossible for the pilot to roll, loop or stall as you could in a conventional aircraft. In the unlikely event o9f a complete engine failure, the parachute allows slow descent while maintaining all turning capability. • Second, powered parachute training is easy and quick. It normally takes only 2 to 4 hours for a student to complete ground training and solo in a powered parachute, and the training fees are surprisingly low. • Third, It is fun!
