Paramotor - Powered Paraglider Sport Malaysia

Paramotor Lesson Introduction

Thank you for expressing interest in the Paramotor / Motorised Paraglider Program. It is the latest concept in recreational sports and hottest sport of today for people with a passion for aviation

The Paramotor may be worn like a backpack and is the smallest of all powered aircraft. It is either foot launched or can use wheels to take off. Learning to fly the Paramotor takes only a few days and does not require any previous flying experience. Motorized paragliders are portable and easily transported to any location providing an infinite variety of flying locations. They can be taken on vacation and/or transported in the back of a car in a carry case.

Flying a motorized paraglider is easy, rewarding and, with the proper training and equipment, very safe. We have long had the aspiration to float through the sky free as a bird; this is exactly what can be done with a paramotor. This is your chance to expand your horizons where you will learn new ideas and experience new sensations. Your life and viewpoint of the world we live in will be altered forever, after you have explored flight.

The skies are truly the last free open area to enjoy, and this is what the paramotor is all about. It's a most remarkable feeling to realize you are actually flying. Whether flying low over the beach or open fields, or high over the land riding thermals, you can experience the freedom, the independence and achieve man's oldest dream - flight! Motorized paragliding is undoubtedly the least expensive form of powered flight - a day in the sky will only cost a few dollars in fuel bills.

The paramotor Trike is a revolution in paramotoring ease-of use and training. It takes away the need to carry the motor on your back and run to take-off and land. Take-off and landings are a done with arm-chair comfort and ease; just power up a little to inflate the wing, stabilize the canopy and then full power to take off. The trike folds into a zip-up bag with wheels for easy storage and transportation. Being a passenger on a trike with an experienced pilot is the fastest way to experience paragliding without first learning how to fly. Training is also greatly enhanced through use of the trike for in-flight training.

Our goal is to promote this sport to a worldwide audience and to offer the world's best flying equipment in terms of safety, ease of operation, versatility, durability and cost.

Paramotor

Paramotor Pilot Lesson

One person: RM3,500.00 per pax

Two person: RM3,000.00 per pax

Lesson Description:

Flying a paramotor requires a little more training than regular paragliding. After all, you are still flying a paraglider and you have an engine which changes your wing's launch and flight characteristics. The complete 20 hours course teaches launching with a motor to achieve solo flight. The first solo flight is controlled by an experienced instructor using a radio.

To begin with, flight school covers ground handling and equipment familiarization and then progresses to teaching launch technique with the motor. When adequate glider control you have demonstrated, together with an understanding of launch and landing techniques, practice for the first solo flight begins. Skills such as turning, reading the weather conditions, powered flight techniques, reserve and emergency procedures are all part of the course.

Most students will fly with the motor by the fifth day of lessons depending on individual skill level.

1. Is a license required to fly an MPG?
In Malaysia, no license is required, however, training is highly recommended.

2. Can an MPG be flown in the Kuala Lumpur city area?
There are many areas where flying is restricted both in cities and near airports. However, permission (a NOTAM) can be obtained from the Malaysian Department of Civil Aviation (DCA) on a case-by-case basis for specific events as required. There are many areas around KL and Malaysia, however, where MPG's can be safely and legally flown.

3. How long does it take to learn to fly?
For a complete novice, it takes around 5 to 10 days to achieve complete freedom on a paramotor. These training days typically consist of controlling the wing on the ground and short paraglider flights on a hill. After this, a student will move on to radio-instructed paramotor flights. In around 4-5 days, it is possible to finish a basic course. Subsequently, advanced training courses are highly recommended.

4. What is the maximum wind speed a paramotor can fly in?
At the maximum speed of the paraglider wing. Their speeds are between 20 km/h = minimum speed) and 45 to 50 km/h, this depends on the type of wing. The average speed is around 40 km/h. Contrary to what might be thought, a more powerful engine will not make for a faster ride, but it will offer a quicker climb to altitude. No matter which engine is used, the horizontal air speed will always be the same if using the same wing.

5. How high can they fly?
MPG's have a safe maximum altitude of about 10,000' (300m). However, the most fun and entertaining flying is "low and slow"; MPG's can be flown safely only a few meters above the ground though they are most often flown at an altitude of about 30-100 meters for the best view.

6. What is the flying range of a paramotor?
This depends essentially on the weight of the pilot, the performance of the chosen wing, and of course on the quantity of fuel on board. A "typical" paramotor, that is to say one using a canopy of reasonable performance, with a flier whose weight is in a reasonable range for the machine, will use between 3 to 4 litres of fuel per hour on average, giving around 1h30 range with a 5-litre fuel tank, twice that with a 10-litre tank.

7. Can an MPG carry a passenger?
An MPG can be fitted with a tandem harness allowing a pilot to fly with a passenger. Total take-off weight restrictions apply depending on canopy size and engine power.

8. What happens if the engine stops?
Paraglider wings perform much the same as a normal parachute. In the engine stops or it runs out of petrol, the MPG will glide safely to the ground.

9. Which type of fuel does it use?
Any car petrol is suitable, used in a mixture with synthetic 2-stroke oil beginning at 4% for a new motor, then 3%, finally 2% mixture (= 1/25, 1/33, and then 1/50). It is very important to add synthetic oil or mineral oil at 4% (1/25) in normal use to avoid overheating or seizing problems. There is almost no other maintenance required to these motors, which are extremely robust.

10. How much does a paramotor weight?
Paramotors range from 16 kg, up to a maximum of around 35kg. Weight is very critical as a too heavy paramotor is very difficult for ground handling and takeoff. Once in the air, the combined weight of paramotor an pilot, is suspended by the wing - just like sitting in an armchair! Although minimum weight is important, a paramotor must have enough power for the pilot and aircraft. Around 4 kg for every 5 litres of fuel must be added to calculate the overall takeoff weight.

11. Which type of paragliding canopy can be used with a paramotor?
Any paraglider designed and constructed for foot launching can be used, although the best are those modified specifically for paramotoring. Ozone wings offer several specialized wings including the "Vibe" with special paramotor risers.

12. Is it possible to take off from anywhere?
Yes, technically, it is possible to take off from almost anywhere, as long as conditions are right; taking off into the wind, not set up in the wind shadow of a mountain, building or similar. For utmost safety, always fly in good weather conditions. A football pitch size field is an example of a suitable paramotor take-off area. Usually, it is not legally permissible to take-off "just anywhere"; notably too close to towns, and of course near airfields or in restricted areas. Local rules and airspace restrictions around the flying area must be checked. Every country has different air laws; and while the general guidelines are the same worldwide, local details may differ.
