Aircraft logbooks are not required to be on board the
powered parachute when it is operated. However, you
should inspect the aircraft logbooks prior to flight to
confirm the PPC has had all required tests and inspections.
The owner/operator must keep maintenance records
for the airframe and powerplant.
At a minimum, there must be an annual inspection
within the preceding 12-calendar months. In addition,
the powered parachute may also need a 100-hour inspection
in accordance with 14 CFR part 91 if it is
used for hire (for example, for training operations). If
a transponder or a transponder/encoder with a pitotstatic
system is used, it must be inspected within each
preceding 24-calendar months.
The pilot must have in his or her possession a valid
U.S. driver’s license, or a valid medical certificate
accompanied by a photo identification and pilot certificate.
Sport pilots must also carry a copy of the endorsements
issued from their logbook indicating they
are qualified for the powered parachute category/class
for the aircraft they are flying. The wing shape (rectangular
or elliptical) and the landing system (land or
sea) will be specified in this endorsement.

the aircraft at all times.

Visual Inspection
The accomplishment of a safe flight begins with a
careful visual inspection, regardless of the category/
class of aircraft you will be flying. The purpose of the
routine preflight inspection is twofold: to determine
the powered parachute is legally airworthy, and that it
is in condition for safe flight. You determine whether
the PPC is in a condition for safe flight by a thorough
and systematic preflight inspection of the aircraft
and its components. The preflight inspection should
be performed in accordance with a printed checklist
provided by the powered parachute manufacturer for
the specific make and model of aircraft. However, the
following general areas are applicable to all powered
parachutes.
The preflight inspection should begin as soon as
you approach the aircraft. Since the powered parachute
can be transported by trailer, the unloading of
the aircraft allows you extra opportunity to look the
cart over from front to back and top to bottom. First
and foremost, you need to look for any damage that
may have occurred during transit. Make note of the
general appearance of the aircraft, looking for obvious
discrepancies such as tires with low air pressure,
structural distortion, wear points, cart damage, and
dripping fuel or oil leaks. All tie-downs, control locks,
and chocks should be removed during the unloading
process.
It is absolutely necessary you are thoroughly familiar
with the locations and functions of the aircraft systems,
switches, and controls. Use the preflight inspection
as an orientation when operating a make/model
for the first time.
The actual “walk around” is a routine preflight inspection
and has been used for years from the smallest
general aviation airplane to the largest commercial
jet. The walk around is thorough and systematic, and
should be done the same way each and every time an
aircraft will be flown. In addition to “seeing” what
you’re looking at, it requires you take the appropriate
action whenever a discrepancy is discovered. A
powered parachute walk around will cover five main
tasks:
1. Cart inspection
2. Powerplant inspection
3. Equipment check
4. Engine warm-up and check
5. Wing and suspension line inspection
Each PPC should have a specific routine preflight inspection
checklist, but the following can be used as a
guideline for most PPCs.
Cart Inspection
Check the front nosewheel for proper play, tire inflation,
and secure axle bolt. Test the ground steering bar
connection points and ensure there is smooth steering
range of motion from the steering bar. Check and secure
the connections between the front fork and the
front axle and the front fork and the gooseneck. [Figure
5-5]
Figure 5-5. Check for proper tire inflation and that the axle
bolt is secure.
When brakes are installed, it is common for them to
be on the front nosewheel. Typically, they are drum
or disk style operated by a cable; it is important to
inspect the cable lock, assuring it is tight. The brakes
may be hydraulic disk brakes that also incorporate a
cable; in this case, inspect both components. Check
brakes and brake systems for rust and corrosion, loose
