After lunch we went back to the field. With winds gusting up to 56 km/h there was no chance for any kiting at all. Not even with the small gliders. We waited till 5:30 and then it was time to make a decision weather to wait more or call it quits. The forecast was calling […]
Started at 8 am kiting regular size paragliders. Both students picked up reverse ground handling super quickly. Especially Ryan who I constantly call Kevin. Its embarrassing but I can’t seem to control it. Not sure why I do that. I told Kevin at lunch break then I feel really bad because I keep calling Ryan […]
2 students Kevin and Ryan. Just another typical first PPG course day. We have completed the ground school, student pilot permit was issued – we even had time to get the engines out, get them started and practice running under power. Even though it was super windy outside we also managed to learn how to untangle […]
This PPG course was supposed to start on Saturday May 14 but the forecast for both Saturday and Sunday called for very high winds with some possible rain too. The first day of the course is mostly indoor and we have other stuff to do if winds are too high for kiting so iyt does […]
Off the runway 06 then fly over Niagara Falls then to Fort Erie, turn right go to Port Colborn then follow Welland canal back. Busy on the approach, wanted to join right base for 06 but was told by tower to turn left and join long final for 06 to give two other aircraft time […]
Govindan has managed his first solo and one more flight later. Great conditions, nice and calm with perfect light breeze not like when Jason and Kevin flew their first solos. The take offs vere perfect. Landings not as good. First landing was a bit of a belly slide as Govindan did not manage to maintain […]
Govindan is paying bit more for weekend only training so we had our third day yesterday. More reverse ground handling and later with motor on his back. It was full day 10 am to 7:30 pm. Govindan will solo soon.
Started at 3 pm with brush up on ground handling. By 4:30 it was flyable. Jason took off into nice air and had wonderful flight. next was Kevin who managed one of the craziest take off I have ever seen. It did work at the end. Bobby, who started in the fall, also did a nice […]
Students were not ready to fly yet this morning so there was no reason to get up too early. We decided for 10 am start and worked on kiting. By 1 pm both Kevin and Jason were very proficient even with motors on their back. Govindan is participating on weekends only and will be back […]
Absolutely stunning day at the field. We got summer and perfect wind. Started at 10 am with reverse handling and ground handled till 1 pm. Wind started to get too inconsistent so we too hour break for lunch. Then we went over the motors, helmets, radion comm and proper way to run with paramotor. Once […]
