Excellent video... we talked about this in training but there were so many things to learn it was still confusing to me afterwards. This really helped, thank you! For those who don't understand how TH-cam works for monitization, it's not a viable stream of income to keep making videos this solid! For the cost of a Starbucks Coffee a month (I don't drink that stuff so it was an easy choice to become a patreon) you can support this guy so he can continue being a true asset to the paramotor community.
Well Done. I love videos like this. We needs more content like this. I love the detail at the end there. Very cool. Also the website you used is very useful. Thanks.
This was one of the best video instructions I’ve seen to date on sectional charts! Thank you for creating this one because reading these charts are a perishable skill and it’s one of those skills that I still need a lot of work on. Great work and thank you again!
This is already very helpful, however it is a bit different up here in Canada. The charts are very similar but not the same. I do need to keep current with this stuff as it is something one loses without constant practice.
Great explenation, I will save this for future reference because it was a lot to take in. Can you do a video about state and national parks and what height one need to have to fly over them or if one cant fly over them at all.
For sure, generally state parks are okay to fly over at any altitude but bigger national parks generally have special flight rules (sfr) that need to be noted. The example I used in this video was a wildlife protection area for the condors. The charts margin or even near the area itself will contain those flight rules. Definitely more to it than this sometimes. Maybe I can make a Short to go in depth on that 🤙🏻
So far your airspace video is the best one for ultra light aircraft, that I have see. Although I need to learn more to safely fly ultra lights in my local area, or any where. I live in Lancaster California. I recently bought a Los Angeles sectional Cart. Palmdale airport is only a few miles from my home & Fox Field Is a few miles farther North west of me. So would be grateful for any help regarding Ultralight flying in my area.
Learning airspace was tough. Still not entirely confident without an app to show me the boundaries. My primary lz is just outside colorado springs airspace so it gets a little confusing. Will watch this a few times
This is such a well done video The explanation well done, just a lot of absorb I almost ready to purchase a trike but I don’t know if my local airport allows me to fly it I stop today the airport is not tower and the town stuff people had absolutely not idea about it . Today useless people This is Calabro airport in brook haven Long Island Hope you can help me Great video
Thanks for this video! I’m over in Crested Butte and get my training in September/October on the front range. I’d love to meet up/fly and learn from you about Mountain flying! My real dream is XC! Would be cool to fly over Taylor and meet up some day!
Hi, thanks for the initial information. I’m trying to buy a new ultralight but I’m confuse if my close airport KONZ is classified as G or if E is all the way to the ground. This KONZ is below the 3rd ring of class B for DTW in Detroit international airport.
Ok holy crap! It’s crazy that you point out this area to use in your video because this is my area and I have questions! There is a large field at the Southwest corner of the large circle at the top left corner of Lake Benbrook. I want to use this field for my LZ but I have questions. If launching from near Benbrook Lake would it be class G up to 1200 feet and would permission be required?
It’s in the Class B airspace but shows a 110/50 which from my understanding means Class B starts at 5000 feet and goes up to 11000 feet. So am I correct in assuming that from ground to 700 feet AGL is Class G and that from 700 feet to 5000 feet would be Class E airspace?
Just an observation/comment on Class E surface to air. We can fly in some surface area of Class E airspace. If the surface area of Class E is “designated as an extension” we can legally takeoff and fly through from sunrise to sunset. But, if the surface area of Class E airspace is “designated for an airport” we cannot takeoff or fly through it. Class E Surface Extension, Yes but only after sunrise or before sunset. Class E Surface for an airport, No Let me know your thoughts, Thx Conor
@@liftedppg4370 i fly helicopters but just got into paramotors. I took a course with “youcanflyppg” awesome ppl. I had my first flight yesterday without instructors present, it went really well! I love the freedom of flying paramotors
@@liftedppg4370 i spent countless hours trying to learn/understand airspace when getting my heli license. It’s definitely tricky and I continue to read/refresh myself on it. It’s easy to lose/forget if you are not constantly reading/studying aeronautical charts. I had to pound it into my brain for endless hours until it became easy to understand/read
Awsome video. Lots of good knowledge here. I will refer back to it often:) Will you be doing any folow up info. like addendums that pertain to ultralights? I've heard of pilots getting into trouble with flying over national parks, reservations, towns, power lines... basiclly anything else we should know to stay out of legal trouble! Thnx
Enjoyed your video. And yes I do have a question. I am in the area of kipj which is Lincolnton North Carolina near Charlotte. I'm just wondering where in the heck you can find ultra light if I got one in this area? Another question I have is the 30-mile veil it says adsb out required, will ultralights do not have a TSB can you clarify? Thank you
I would recommend getting on FB (🤢) and doing some community research. I have taught people that live in the area! I know of one off the top of my head that I can get you connected with - shoot me an email if you don’t mind and I’ll get you two connected. As for the ADSB, this is only for aircraft with transponders - it allows the tower to track aircraft within 30 miles of the airfield to make sure they are not violating airspace without clearance and to provide approach/departure instructions. No requirements to adhere to for us other than stay the Hell away from B airspace haha!
@@liftedppg4370 sure will, who do I send the email to what is your email address? It's just that I am 67 years old and before I spend most of my retirement savings on an ultra-light that I like just want to make sure I will be able to fly it. Thank you
Let me understand the class B airspace. Can I fly below the class B, but I need a transponder? Do I have to certify or register the ultralight with an N number to have a transponder?
Yes, there is no legal significance to the yellow. It could indicate a congested area, but it is simply what the area looks like at night. Lights ≠ people.
@@liftedppg4370 The yellow is typically inside City Limits, which would show a more highly populated area and a brighter area at night with more lights. Just because its yellow doesn't mean its congested though. Inside my city limits (and in the yellow) is a recreation area where I practice ground handling. Its surrounded on three sides by woods, and in the winter its definitely not a congested area. However in the summer theres a waterpark and softball fields, and it DEFINITELY gets congested.
This is correct! Yes shoot me an email: liftedppg@gmail.com MOA’s have hours of operation, and it’s a good idea to make sure they are inactive, which you can do by checking out the information in the charts margin.
Simply the best PPG learning content out there. Thanks so much for putting this together for the community. This needs to be shared more broadly!
Much appreciated!
Agreed!
Very informative, thank you very much. Regards from South East England.
The most clear & thorough PPG airspace video I have seen, great work!
BTW, what's the best countermeasure for those airport missiles? Chaff or flares? ;)
Thank you Mark!

My head starts spinning whenever I start studying air spaces. 🤯 oh boy, I've got some studying to do.
Let me know if I can help further!

@@wayneherron6511 totally agree, if you have any questions about Canadian airspace I can do some quick learning and get back to you!
Good one Micah, thanks.
You are welcome, Dave! Thank you 🙏
Absolutely fantastic video. I wish this was the first result on TH-cam I learned so much!!
Excellent video! There is without question a ton of information to learn, it is overwhelming to me. Thanks for breaking it down as you do.

Welcome to Colorado! Thanks for the break down and always sharing your knowledge :)
Thanks man! It’s great to be here 🤙🏻
Great vid, always need refresher on sectional as I ppg the same area and just know the rules here.
Thanks Micah, great video I’m a little late to your game but as someone looking into building a ULSA I appreciate your information and candor
Thank you so much for doing this. Im going to have to watch it several times but very useful for doing XCs. Hope to see you at Salton Sea.
You are very welcome! Sadly I won’t be making it there but I might get to flying circus?! 🤞🏻
Great high quality content. Other suggestion:. Link for your boots, points to as tactical vest not to boots. Thanks again for great connect.
Thanks Court!
Your the dude from Aviator Paramotor videos I've watched lol. Thank you for this. I'd like to go to training someday down there. Subbed

I’ll need to get back to you on this, but I don’t want to forget to respond. Can you send me an email? liftedppg@gmail.com
Can you do a video on handheld airband radio options?
I love the idea, I don’t have one at the moment, but I might be able to find a way!

You can fly in Class E surface to air designed for an airport as well but it requires permission
This is why I upload videos, for comments just like this! Always learning. Thank you!

Soooo can u fly over a city...like where CANT u fly
Buildings are a no go, I’ve known pilots who got into big trouble flying over a sky scraper without permission from the “governing” bodies
Did i just hear that MOA's dont require permission? Is there a way i can contact you for further information?
This is correct! Yes shoot me an email: liftedppg@gmail.com

Precisely!
