Backpack – Uncover (Beginner level)
Backpack “uncover” is a 5-6 days beginner’s course which provides the student with their first rating in the PPG education system. This includes 2 hours of training per day (practical & theory). The student learns how to launch and control the wing on the ground, with and without the engine, and also learns how to control the Paramotor on the ground. The aim is, for the student to perform at least 1 solo Backpack flight during the course and in most cases even more. At this level the student is allowed to fly only under radio instructions and supervision of a qualified / experienced PPG instructor. The first solo flight of 1 hour duration will mark the completion of the course.
