I have watched all of your videos since I began flying PPG 3 years ago. I got more from your professional videos than any others. Impressive.

Just don't kill your engine when you go to land wait till your feet are on the ground. You don't see airplanes kill the engine before they touch down. This isn't a car or you can swerve out of the way of a deer. Stay at idle until your feet are on the ground. You may have already realized that seeing as you're not new anymore

"Chin forward, As you come in, FEEL the wing.." Before this, I mistakenly thought "hands up" until flair meant getting brake toggles so high that they were limp and loose..there's no way to feel the wing and gracefully brake and flair that way. This is undoubtably the best paramotor landing tips video on youtube. I went from dreading landing to loving it.

Hands down the best explanation I’ve seen for landing. Every time I watch this video I have a successful landing. I’m going to watch this before I go flying every time until I have so burned into my memory I never miss a landing. I really appreciate your videos.

Landing too me was the harder part of my learning process,because its never the same,conditions are always changing,more head wind means a longer progressive flare less to nil means a faster more fluent flare,I always wait for the ground and i mean wait..lol..also I recommend not killing the motor after you get too be a more experienced pilot especially when flying in rowdy conditions where you will really be happy too have the power for a go around or sudden drop :)

The best explanation on landing I've seen yet. Thanks for sharing.

This is excellent. He is covering details that are briefly skimmed over in other training programs. Very beneficial to paramotor pilots who need to tighten up their skills

Another great video, I've been coming in heavy on my REVO2; now I will try the two flare approach and see if I can skim the ground and come in gently! CHEERS

Thank you for all your advice in such a positive and helpful way. Great tutorial

Another great vid with clearly explained information, excellent thanks !

I'm almost there, I did winch tows yesterday. Nil wind landings are definitely different. Great video.

Awesome series.. thx for posting!

Excellent video! Thanks for sharing! 👍

Great job on this video. I've watched a bunch and haven't heard this clear of instruction. I'm going for training in September. Gonna be a slow 4 months.

Very informative and clear! Thanks.

Thanks for the tutorial. Blue skies!

Very nice...thanks for the review!

I did my first few months of ppg on my paragliding wing then got a reflex wing. This threw out my landing accuracy a fair bit but this video explains well the correct techniques and subtle difference in approach needed

Outstanding instructions, many thanks

Really helped me iron out a few things, thanks!!!

Your explain everything very well. I once crashed during landing & broke the propeller with fuel tank. But))) I havn't seen your video then. Now everything is clear as a clear day)) Thanks

Great video series. Thanks

Just all your videos are accurate and excellent! Straight to the point. Just the right instructions, just in time and where I would have been happy for another angle on the situation, you just provided another look from another angle. i will add that the written instructions at the end made it even simpler to memorize. After hundreds of videos I watched on many others, yours most success to remove my rust especially in quarantine breaks .. Thanks! The takeoff, landing and preflight videos are simply superb. and in my ritual view list. thanks from israel :-)

probably your very good pilot and instructor!

I went to Aviator Paramotor to learn to fly. They kept telling us landing was easy compared to taking off, but I had the opposite experience. I didn't biff a single takeoff, but could never quite get the landing right at the school. I'd always get too anxious on the second brake pull and it would shoot me straight up about 5 feet and then drop me.

Very helpful. Thanks!

Great info!

Great info thanks for tips clean video

Very good ol chap! LOL just kidding I'm your newest subscriber! Hello from Oregon USA 😊👍

Great tips

Your one of the best out there..

Your landings are so beautiful.

I’m not sure why my instructor didn’t tell me about chin and a leg forward ready to run. I’ll try this technique next time.

Fantastic thanks

Handy little tip on the reflex wing.

Cheers Alex, sounds like you know what you are talking about

Good Instructions...

Can you do a instructional video on "Power On" landings?

Very nice (both styles!)! Could you use this method, like we do with the airplane on forced engine failure landings: on downwind define the height/closeness to the landing strip by matching it to a visual hint (stretched arm sidewise, we use a spot on the wing), then fly to 45 degrees from the strip threshold, then start base. Like this we are always at the correct height/proximity proportion no matter how high! It also provides the correct glide slope angle for the landing. I find doing this by intuition sometimes fails, with visual match hint it’s always super precise. Of course you have much shorter landing roll so maybe it is not that critical. But I’ve seen videos of some guys (probably with tiny speed wings) needing quite some space to run at landing! Cheers!

It's not so easy to use a visual reference as you have described with an airplane as the wind strength considerably changes how we set up for each landing.

@@SkySchool True, the parawing is affected much stronger by wind than a heavy chunk of an airplane! Also, if ever I’d push the stick forward on a flight it is at landing - flying almost till the end straight towards the touch down target point, while the parawing doesn’t have this pitch down control. When we extend full flaps we know that the glide slope gets steeper, so this maybe equivalent to you pulling on the trailing edge of the wing on holding it ( brakes?). In any case, I’m really looking forward to learn this way of flying, it is pure freedom! In the airplane I do the same airports around me year after year, cannot land or take off wherever I want, heavy vibrating cabin, smelling like oil, each time I land I just want to stay in the field to feel the breeze and smell the meadows and the air! Pushing in and out of the hangar 1,5 ton planes, paying per hour quantities of money that will keep you for moths in the air on a paramotor! Not to mention the constant paperwork and dependency on a club….

@@RosssRoyce definitely time to take up paramotoring then!

I've been looking at this for some time and one of the big problems with landing in a long swoop is your exposure to objects on the ground is very large. If you find yourself landing some place with out a lot of spare space you might come down on your spot and run into a car or something.

I really appreciate if you can update this video , showing landings using the motor accelerator and brakes to control pitch movements...

Super like!!!

Class!!!

How about tips for landing single skin gliders that don't have much/any flare authority? They are the best for nil wind launches but my Independence Tensing single skin has poor flare authority in all landing situations except high wind. It's either a dive/swoop approach to build energy or power-on landing techniques that I've developed. What say you?

Thanks

Hope I get an answer..I have 50 hours and I use an Ozone Spyder..I have always used neutral trim for take off's and landings never tried anything else at first it took me a bit to learn the 1-2 position and had a few but landings but now I'm pretty good but still have a few landings that I flare a bit late and end up running into the ground a bit to fast.. I have Total Knee Replacements and a slow gentle landing is my goal what would I be encountering if I try the 1-2 step with my trimmers in the all slow settings ..Will I still swoop a bit or would i just sink straight down..last thing I want is to jam my knees

@SkySchool

For the Spyder we recommend setting the trimmers on the white stick and using the 2 stage flare technique. If you get the timing right then actually get a little but of lift towards the end of the swoop which means in nil wind you land with very little forward speed. If you go full slow on the trimmers we've found you don't get as good a swoop on landing. I hope that answers your question.

@@SkySchool I had assumed that would be your answer I tried ounce to land with trimmers all in ( SLOW ) thinking I would land slower and softer but experienced a steeper descent and it caused me to jam my knee painful and not sure if it was my technique or thats just the way it will happen if I try again where's if I use the Neutral ( white stitch ) setting and do the 2 step I come in with more speed but I'm able to land with less impact do to a much shallower angle but do have to run some times to keep from face planting LOL .I guess a bit more work on the last part that you flare as the last of the energy is drained from the wing just enough to to raise and float down to a standing stop. Thanks for the input ..

happy landing

Are you using trims at all to land

@SkySchool

It depends upon the wing however on most wings you have a better flare if you ease out the trimmers by an inch or so from full slow

How much do you need for equipment? And what's the price for a teacher? In California.!

davidis7 the wind was indeed light but the camera angles can be deceptive as the pilot was landing into wind

First thing is to land into the wind! A melted wing on a hot exhaust will ruin your day!
