I`ve seen many videos`s on here of your flights, nearly all of them are low level or low-ish.

Does anyone regularly fly at high altitude - 5000` or more?

Are there more risks flying at that height, what precautions/special preparations are needed for that kind of flying with a PPG - apart from airspace restrictions of course.

Whats the highest altitude you`ve flown at?

Cheers,

Hann.

Most of my flying is spent high up or trying to get to cloud base thermaling. I think the main reason for the lack of high level video's is because it's not very exciting. :wink:

It's the still thing that gives me the willies. Much happier at 500' at paramotor speeds.

In saying that, when you pass clouds closely, you do get a sensation of speed. The most amazing thing about high alt flying is the visibility- you can almost see the entire country (Northern Ireland) from 8000ft on a good day.
