PPG Field Guide is an independent information site about paramotoring, also called powered paragliding or PPG, written for readers in Florida. The initials refer only to the sport; the site has nothing to do with the paint and coatings company that uses the same letters.
Who is and is not behind this site
The site is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to the Kraft paramotor brand or the equipment store that previously operated on this domain, to any dealer or distributor of its products, or to any other business with a similar name. We do not sell paramotors, parts or accessories. We do not teach, rent equipment, take bookings or give instruction. Brand and product names that appear on these pages are used only to describe the market in a factual way and belong to their owners.
What you will find here
The pages are editorial guides. They explain the federal rules that apply to ultralight vehicles, how Florida and its public land managers treat takeoffs and landings, what the weather and airspace look like in the state, what equipment costs and how to care for it, and what safe habits look like. They are written to help readers ask better questions of the people and agencies who know the specifics: instructors, mechanics, manufacturers and the FAA.
Where the information comes from
- The text of 14 CFR Part 103 and other federal regulations on the Electronic Code of Federal Regulations.
- Florida Statutes and the Florida Administrative Code.
- Published materials from the United States Powered Paragliding Association and the FAA.
- National Weather Service and National Hurricane Center climate and forecasting information.
- Published permit forms and rules of public land managers, where cited.
Prices on the site are rough market ranges drawn from published buyer guides. They are not offers from us, and they change. Nothing here is legal, financial, medical or flight-safety advice.
Please verify before you rely on it
Regulations, permits, airspace and equipment all change. Confirm anything that matters, such as a legal limit, a park permit or a service interval, with the FAA, the land manager, the manufacturer or a qualified instructor. Paramotoring is a risk sport, and no website replaces hands-on training.
Corrections
