ukppg Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 UKPPG Student, Matt Vicary today has today (13-01-2012) set what we believe to be a UK / Worldwide record in PPG flying. Matt has flown 102 consequetive take-offs and landings (not touch and goes) in one day (5h 45m). We know Dell Shanze has had a student do 60 touch and go flights in one day but Matts flights were actual start and stop flights not touch and goes with a circuit in every flight (Average of 3.38minutes per flight). Does anyone know if this is officially a record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParamotorPaul Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Wow well done Matt and there was me pleased with my 2 in one day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquatix Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Amazing ! I won't be challenging that record ............. Did the wing touch the ground between each flight or just engine off and restart with wing still in the air ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgy Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 You would have to go onto the FAI record web site, If it's not in there then i think they call it an outstanding achievement or something along those line's. This record would also have to have a whiteness that is an BMA official observer. http://flymicro.com/records/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ukppg Posted January 14, 2012 Author Share Posted January 14, 2012 Matt took off and then completed a complete 4 leg circuit (as per his training) and then made a power on landing for 85% of the landings, came to a complete stop, turned and faced the wing and then either put the wing on the floor or maintained the wing in flight (The K2 stays up in very light winds) then turned to face the forward position and relaunched. He had 2 breaks for fluids and a Chocolate bar but that was it. He done exceptionally well and for a large guy his stamina was outstanding and with exceptional results however the next day he was absolutely knackered but did manage to go flying again for a cross country for a rest. We are really proud of him. Thanks for all your helpful replies guys, much appreciated, Nigel (CFI) UKPPG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
