🪂 What is PPG (Powered Paragliding)
Powered Paragliding (PPG), or paramotoring, is a unique form of ultralight aviation that requires no license, no medical, and no annual inspections. It offers unmatched freedom and accessibility.
A paramotor is a lightweight motorised paraglider worn on your back, allowing you to take off from small open spaces like fields or parks. With costs as low as £7 per hour to fly, it is one of the most affordable forms of personal aviation.
