Yes thats right. Free flight, being unregulated, does not contribute to either the 45 hrs needed for a PPL(A) licence, the 32 hrs needed for a NPPL(SSEA/SLMG) licence, the 25hrs needed for the NPPL(microlight) licence or the 11 hrs needed for an NPPL(PPC) licence.
Paramotor trikes are classed as Powered Parachutes for the purposes of licencing and as aeroplanes for the purposes of registration.
That's what comes of adding wheels to a paramotor!!
