PPC Training

First, please let me apologize for the 'downtime' on this website. We were recently (Feb 2010) hacked by a Palestinian Hate group - and it totally wiped-out our site on 'Go Daddy'. Therefore, we are currently in the process of rebuilding our site now on a different web host. And we do appreciate your patience and understanding and re-built our website for the Top-Award Winning PREDATOR Powered Parachute! GIFT CERTIFICATES for Introductory Flights are Great Gifts <Father's Day * Birthdays * Graduation * Christmas * Anniversaries * Mother's Day * Valentines> to those who "dream to fly"! And as a bonus to the initiation of graceful flight - sense of tranquility while viewing the incredible beauty and unique landscape of the area from a 'magic carpet' flight.
Introductory Flights	Swinging to the Pirate PPC theme... Intro to Powered Parachuting This is the place to start - and this is an experience that needs to be on your "Bucket List" [See more Intro Flight details...]
Powered Parachute Training (PPC Training) There are multiple approaches to learning to fly a Powered Parachute. Most paths to becoming a PPC Pilot will depend on your requested goal: Ultralight Pilot - U/L pilots may fly a single-seat PPC that weights less than 254-lbs and is equipped to carry no more than 5-gallons of fuel. Sport Pilot - SP's are certified FAA pilots that can take a passenger and are allowed to fly in 'E' & 'G' airspace without any additional endorsements. Unless their aircraft is equipped for night flights, these pilots can fly from sunrise to sunset while maintaining visual reference to the ground. Private Pilot - very similar to a powered parachute Sport Pilot - but with the additional privileges of Night Flights & Towered Airport approaches. CFI (Certified Flight Instructor) - Flight Instructors obtain a FAA certification to allow them to charge for their training services. CFI privileges start with the sanction to charge for Introductory Flights <> to endorsing Students to Solo & Cross-Country <> to giving biennial Flight Review to keep Pilots current.


With SkyTrails Training Programs - starting with your Introductory Flight, we are striving to standardize the safest, most complete and most straight-forward method for sharing the fantastic sensation of slow-&-low powered parachute flight. With our powered parachute Flights, you will: Discover why the birds SING! Re-live those childhood 'flying dreams'! Know the extraordinary facets of the PPC (Powered ParaChute) & why it has: A remarkable safety record Low cost Low maintenance, and Aerodynamic/Mechanical stability & simplicity Understand that a Powered Parachute is: The safest way to FLY! The easiest aircraft to FLY, and The best way to SAIL-THE-SKIES! When you have an aircraft with the characteristics of a powered parachute, people who otherwise could only dream of flight, can now fly for the sheer pleasure and exhilaration. An Introductory Flight/Discovery Flight or Initial Training Flight, is a flight that is piloted by an experienced Instructor/CFI. During this flight you will be comfortably seated in the 2nd or rear seat of the powered parachute. You will be able to converse with your instructor via helmet/ head-phones. The instructor will demonstrate the use of the simple, intuitive controls used in powered parachute flight while you are flowing over some of the most scenic countryside. [Note: And YES - you may bring your camera or video with you - as you will be flying over some awesome country! This will be a flight that you will never forget.] [CAUTION! These flights have been known to cause an addiction for powered parachutes - so be forewarned! Introductory Flights are usually geared for someone who has never flown in a powered parachute before, and would like first hand knowledge as to whether the sport may be suited for them.
