The aircraf's relative airspeed is typically about 25-35 mph (40-60 km/h). PPCs operate safely at heights ranging from a fewfeet off the ground (while ground skimming, a popular use of the aircraft) to altitudes as high as 18,000 feet (5.5 km). But typicaloperating heights are between 500 and 1500 feet (50-300 meters).Equipped with the standard 5 or 10 gallon fuel tank, powered parachutes can typically be flown for about three hours. They have very short take-offand landing rolls, sometimes less than 100 ft (30m). PPCs are among the least expensive aerial vehicles. A new one-person poweredparachute may cost as little as $5,000, though single seaters more typically cost about $10,000. Top end two seater PPCs usuallycost $15,000-25,000. Empty weight is typically around 200-300 lb (90 - 135 kg) and payload can be upwards of 500 lb (225 kg).In the United States, most single place powered parachutes are flown under part 103 of the Federal Aviation Regulations and, therefore, may beflown without a license or flight instruction. Flight instruction is, however, highly recommended, and an average student can learnto fly a PPC safely with 5 to 10 hours of flight instruction. Two place PPCs are light sport aircraft in theUnited States. The pilotmust have at least a sport pilot certificate issued by the FAA to fly them. A minimum of 12 hours of flight instruction is required toobtain this certificate.PPCs are considered by many to be safer than normal fixed-wing aircraft because of their inherent stability, limited response to controlinputs, and stall resistance. There are two primary means to control a PPC: increasing or decreasing engine power(which controls vertical rate of climb) and deflecting the right or left trailing edge of the parachute--typically by moving the steeringbars with the feet--(which turns the aircraft right or left). If the trailing edge of the wing is pulled in on both sides at the same time,the aircraft 'flares,' i.e., slows and temporarily gains additional lift. The flare is generally used to make fine adjustments in altitudewhen flying close to the ground and, in particular, when landing.The power-off glide ratio of a powered parachute ranges from 3:1 to 6:1. Glide ratio varies depending on the chute size and shape,and the weight that the chute is carrying. Engine-off landings are are generally safe, provided that the aircraft is within glide rangeof a suitable landing zone.The main hazards one faces while flying a powered parachute are associated with wind and obstacles. Flight should not beattempted in winds exceeding 10-15 mph or in gusty conditions. Wind hazards include terrain-induced air disturbances calledrotors (it is advisable to stay upwind of trees, mountains, and other obstacles that disturb the flow of the wind). Wake turbulencecreated by the passage of other aircraft, especially aircraft that are heavy, aerodynamically clean, and slow pose another significanthazard. And since the slow-moving powered parachute (like the helicopter) is particularly well equipped to fly safely near the ground,special care must be taken to avoid power lines, trees, and other low-level terrain obstacles. Forced landings in water are extremelydangerous, for pilot and/or passenger may become entangled in the parachute lines of a sinking powered parachute."This information found:Wikipedia EncylopediaFind more Powered Parachutes for Sale Here:Powered Parachute for SalePowered Parachute for Sale Powered By RingsurfThis site is part of an Internet Site-Ring Community hosted at World of Newave Previous - List: ppc - Home: ppc - Forum: ppc - Join - Next
