Yooo bro, I was the kid that met you after you landed. It was sick meeting you bro!
nice meeting you as well man!
Tons of fun. As a bystander who just happened to be there watching, He did in fact stay west of the controlled airspace and flew over no people. There was solid flight planning. Great video!
thanks for filming Jerry
Awesome stuff, can't wait to check it out! Big fan of your flying videos!
Edit: 2 Minutes in and it's already some epic stuff! Let's goo!
appreciate it!
you are just nuts... haha! insane launch. and not sketchy at all to fly right under ALL bridges
not at all
surprised the moster 185 is powerfull enough, i would have thought you would need a thor 303 to lift those MASSIVE BALLS out that LZ lmao. awesome man
lmao thanks man!
Sweet! Have you ever tried or been curious of how a paramotor trike would be different?
trike is not as fun
WOW. GREAT PILOT SKILLS ! Where did you learn. ? School. ? Private instructors ? ❤👌
self taught
Man I dig it and would love to fly there. Haha Definitely riding that vague line on what they call a congested area.
not over anyone haha just under
That's cool. Is it legal? Did your motor ever fail while in flight?
motor did not die while in flight at all
It is not for taking off or landing but flying under 1000ft, it is. I don't know if that applies to all states thought.
In flight: Low flying and the 500 ft rule
Low level flying is great fun but it must be done in accordance with rules of the air regulations section II. This states that an aircraft shall not fly closer than 500 feet to any person, vessel, vehicle or structure. This is measurable in any direction for example horizontally or vertically.
The only time this flight rule can be ignored during paramotor flights is whilst taking off or landing. This rule can also be ignored by paramotor or glider pilots that switch their engine off while hill-soaring.
An aircraft shall not be flown below such height as would prevent it making an emergency landing without causing danger to persons or property on the surface in the event of an engine failure.
Section II also states that you shall not fly over any congested area of a city, town or settlement below a height of 1000 feet above the highest fixed object. You must also maintain enough altitude to glide clear of the congested area and land safely in the event of an engine failure.
LOVED the take-off BTW
@@Synthalog FAA Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs) apply in every state.
Also, the 1,000 ft. thing, in a congested area, is within a 2,000 ft. horizontal radius of the aircraft.
The relevant section is probably §91.119(d)(2): "A powered parachute or weight-shift-control aircraft may be operated at less than the minimums prescribed in paragraph (c) of this section."
-- paragraph (c) says: "Over other than congested areas. An altitude of 500 feet above the surface, except over open water or sparsely populated areas. In those cases, the aircraft may not be operated closer than 500 feet to any person, vessel, vehicle, or structure."

@@YankeeinSC1 Per FAA FARs, he's okay over the water:
"§ 91.119 Minimum safe altitudes: General.
Except when necessary for takeoff or landing, no person may operate an aircraft below the following altitudes:
(a) Anywhere. An altitude allowing, if a power unit fails, an emergency landing without undue hazard to persons or property on the surface.
(b) Over congested areas. Over any congested area of a city, town, or settlement, or over any open air assembly of persons, an altitude of 1,000 feet above the highest obstacle within a horizontal radius of 2,000 feet of the aircraft.
(c) Over other than congested areas. An altitude of 500 feet above the surface, except over open water or sparsely populated areas. In those cases, the aircraft may not be operated closer than 500 feet to any person, vessel, vehicle, or structure.
(d) Helicopters, powered parachutes, and weight-shift-control aircraft. If the operation is conducted without hazard to persons or property on the surface-
(1) A helicopter may be operated at less than the minimums prescribed in paragraph (b) or (c) of this section, provided each person operating the helicopter complies with any routes or altitudes specifically prescribed for helicopters by the FAA; and
(2) A powered parachute or weight-shift-control aircraft may be operated at less than the minimums prescribed in paragraph (c) of this section."
§91.119(d)(2), specifically.
Exciting video Chucky. Please be sure to check the math on your calculated risk. I’m guessing the community doesn’t really want to see another busted up paramotor pilot.
its all about my level of risk assessment not anyone else's
Stunts like those what give paramotors a bad rep.
Respect...woooohoooo that was an adrenaline ride frim here!
thanks for coming along!
...what a flight! in my area the police would be waiting at the LZ with the cuffs ready to snap - enjoy you're freedom YO...!
I just wouldn't land back at the same spot.
Love your confidence right after takeoff.
Thanks!
Very smooth...
thanks
Chucky how old are you ?
29
Love watching all your flights over the water. I just don't have that kind of faith in my motor.
I hear you!
WATCH OUT FOR FISHING LINES.

You've got MAJOR balls for flying that low over the water lol

@ChuckyWright I'm glad you can trust your engine so well. Sadly, I have a pretty bad fear of motor outs now, recently had 7 motor outs on a brand new VITTORAZI I purchased. I'll leave names out
Wow amazing
