paramad

Hi Guys, I'm the Northern sites officer for the Avon Paragliding & Hanggliding Club. We have agreements with several land owners with regards to the sites that we fly. It is our understanding that it is not practical for both paramotors and paragliders to share the same launch as this could be dangerous. This we thought was the general understanding between paramotoring and paragliding. On the 27th March there were several paraglider pilots flying at the Selsley Common site. An enthusiastic paramotoring pilot came to Selsley suggesting that he would fly his paramotor there. I beleive he was discouraged but I would like to clarify the situation of flying sites. The other issue was that he seemed to have no formal training and therefore wouldn't be insured by the BHPA for public liabilities. At this time I do not have the pilots name or details but would like to encourage hime to take formal training as this would be safer for him and the general public. Morgan
