As far back as the twelfth century, people have loved to parachute. From China’s umbrella and Leonardo da Vinci’s pyramid-shaped flying device to the first air-plane jump in 1912, the urge to leap and soar with the wind has long been a part of history. Parachuting has come a long way since its earliest days due to the advancement of technology, and, now, more people then ever are taking up this in-credible sport. With Powered Parachute Flying Handbook, you will learn what powered parachuting means today, the aerodynamics of flight, what types of engines are used in power parachuting, preflight checklists, basic flight maneuvers, and so much more.

Whether you are training for a powered parachute category rating test or are currently a certified power parachute pilot looking to expand your knowledge, Powered Parachute Flying Handbook is the book you need to make your flying ambitions a reality.

4.0 out of 5 stars PPC Introduction
Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2020
Verified Purchase
A quick read regarding most aspects of learning to fly a Powered Parachute contraption. Most of the material is basic to any type of licensed pilot so my interest was to see the unique operating methodology for PPC aircraft. Good intro for non-pilots seeking to learn about flying and flying a PPC in particular. May be better resources available for current pilots thinking of transitioning to PPC’s.

A well thought out and organized presentation of the subject matter. This book will be useful to the complete novice and to those who already know a bit about general aviation, but not powered parachute flying.

This was geared toward trike or quad flying but there is plenty of useful information and with some common sense one can figure out how to apply this to foot launching
