While we can't use the
paramotor for commercial endeavors, it can certainly be put to good use. The beauty of doing so is that it means we can have fun at the
same time. As if we need reason.
Beware—whenever our primary focus is
moved from the flying, risk goes up dramatically which is why pilots
should be highly skilled and experienced before attempting other
purposes. Of course that depends on what you're doing, but even simple
tasks will divert attention from a pilot's normal routine.
For example, search and
rescue usually doesn't involve much extra gear or unusual flying, but
the external focus diverts attention from looking for wires, minding
safe landing zones and fuel-remaining awareness.
With that understanding,
pilots can engage other activities as covered in the PPG Bible and here
with only slightly more risk than their regular flying.
This section adds information
that is not in the book due to its changing nature or it came out after
the book was published. |
Besides being a simple
blast to fly, the PPG lends itself to other aerial pursuits. Search and
rescue, photography, scouting and others. Pictured is Bob Peters
cruising the mountains west of Colorado Springs.
