Equipment
The equipment that you needed is minimal with respect to aviation standards. The two main items being the paraglider, also called the wing or glider, and the backpack engine called paramotor. The rest of the equipment consists mainly of communication gear.
Training
The training needed to start flying is also minimal. The industry recommendation is 9 days of personalized training to accomplish 30 solo flights with more being better. You can never be too prepared. There have been people that flown on the first day of the training, but this is not recommended as you have little to gain and a lot to lose.
Safety
Safety is of utmost importance. Despite the relatively low risk involved with powered paragliding there still remains the possibility of serious injury if a pilot doesn’t properly prepare and exercise good judgment. Preparation and proper training go a long way towards a pilot’s well being as well as enjoyment.
