wing, connected via flexible suspension lines.
3. The wing is at a relatively fixed angle with the
suspension lines and flies at a relatively constant
speed. Other aircraft categories allow pilots to
change the speed of the aircraft, but the powered
parachute airspeed remains within a very small
range.
A powered parachute can be a single place ultralight
flying vehicle, a single place light-sport aircraft, or
a multi-place light-sport aircraft. The common acronyms
for this vehicle/aircraft are PPC (powered
parachute), PPCL (powered parachute land) or PPCS
(powered parachute sea).
A light-sport aircraft PPC used for sport and private
flying must be registered with an FAA N-number,
have an airworthiness certificate, a pilot’s operating
handbook (POH), and/or limitations with a weight
and balance document aboard. The aircraft must be
maintained properly by the aircraft owner or other
qualified personnel and have the aircraft logbooks
available for inspection. Dual controls are required in
the aircraft for training.
Powered Parachute Pilot Certificate
Eligibility Requirements
You may not act as pilot in command (PIC) of a lightsport
aircraft powered parachute unless you hold
a pilot certificate with a powered parachute rating
issued by the FAA. At this time the only pilot cer-

tificates with powered parachute ratings are Student,
Sport and Private. The FAA is empowered by the U.S.
Congress to promote aviation safety by prescribing
safety standards for pilots and the other civil aviation
programs. The Code of Federal Regulations (CFRs),
formerly referred to as Federal Aviation Regulations
(FARs), are one of the primary means of conveying
these safety standards.
Title 14 CFR, part 61 specifies the requirements to
earn a pilot certificate. This regulation also states the
pilot applicant must be able to read, speak, write, and
understand the English language. The FAA Practical
Test Standards (PTS) establish the standards for the
knowledge and skills necessary for the issuance of
a pilot certificate. [Figure 1-4] You should reference
both these documents to understand the knowledge,
skills and experience required to obtain a pilot certificate
to fly a powered parachute.
(CFI), as well as solo flights under the supervision of
your CFI.
To be eligible to fly solo in a PPC, you must be at
least 16 years of age and demonstrate satisfactory
aeronautical knowledge on a test developed by your
instructor. You must have received and logged flight
training for the maneuvers and procedures in 14 CFR
part 61 for the PPC, as well as demonstrated satisfactory
proficiency and safety. Only after all of these
requirements are met can your instructor endorse your
student pilot certificate and logbook for solo flight.
Once you obtain the required aeronautical knowledge
and experience required by 14 CFR part 61, your flight
instructor will endorse you to take a practical test (often
called a “checkride”) with a sport pilot examiner
(SPE) or an FAA inspector. After you’ve demonstrated
satisfactory aeronautical knowledge and skill in
the Areas of Operation and Tasks outlined in the PTS,
this examiner or inspector will issue your temporary
(paper) pilot certificate. You will receive a plastic certificate
in the mail once the results of the practical test
are received by the FAA Registration branch.
A sport pilot is certified to fly a light-sport aircraft. To
be eligible for a sport pilot certificate with a powered
parachute rating, you must be at least 17 years of age,
complete the specific training and flight time requirements
described in 14 CFR part 61 subpart J, pass the
FAA Knowledge Exam, and successfully complete
the practical test.
If you hold at least a private pilot certificate, but not
a rating for the category and class of PPC LSA, you
can operate the powered parachute with a logbook
endorsement and passing a proficiency check. [Table
1] If you hold at least a private pilot certificate with
a PPC category and class rating, and have a current
Pilot applicants must have a valid U.S. driver’s license
or a current third-class medical certificate issued under
14 CFR part 67. If you use your valid driver’s
license to exercise the privileges of a Sport Pilot certificate,
