@ 1:111 into this video, who's that busting moves down the front face of this mountain?? really going down it fast?? did you even see him? You sure fly at times with no out?
bruce sweatman III that’s my buddy Ian Kirk th-cam.com/users/IanKirkNetwork Yes sometimes we fly in places that would not be very good to have an engine out. There are certain times that the reward is worth the risk, this flight being one of them.
As it turns out, that was a very special day with the weather that allowed us to get in that bowl. The winds are usually high enough to cause turbulence and rotor, and would not make for a fun flight. The other thing to consider flying in Tahoe, is that there is basically zero outs in case of an emergency landing, especially in a PPC. Is it possible? Sure. Is it smart? Probably not. But sometimes the risk is worth the reward. Blue skies and safe landings!
Thanks for responding, your video was awesome and show cased the beauty of Tahoe. I'm still too novice to even attempt flying in that area right now. I'm planning a trip to Fallon this summer (grew up there) and plan on flying my PPC on the flats around town and Lahontan. Stay Safe!
That’s a beautiful flight. But you are flying in a wilderness (Desolation Wilderness) area meant to preserve the solitude. You guys come in like dirt bike riders fling up the vibe. Bad form. “Pilots are requested to maintain a minimum altitude of 2,000 feet above the surface of the following: National Parks, Monuments, Seashores, Lakeshores, Recreation Areas and Scenic Riverways administered by the National Park Service, National Wildlife Refuges, Big Game Refuges, Game Ranges and Wildlife Ranges administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and Wilderness and Primitive areas administered by the U.S. Forest Service. FAA Advisory Circular AC 91-36, Visual Flight Rules (VFR) Flight Over Noise-Sensitive Areas, defines the surface of a national park area (including parks, forests, primitive areas, wilderness areas, recreational areas, national seashores, national monuments, national lakeshores, and national wildlife refuge and range areas) as: the highest terrain within 2,000 feet laterally of the route of flight, or the upper-most rim of a canyon or valley.”
@@BriMacsFly I cut and paste straight from the FAA so I didn’t leave out anything. I think you are probably wanting to split hairs on what is legal. I wouldn’t doubt if there was a loop hole. For example what I pasted say’s “requested” as opposed to a more clear cut legal term. But no doubt if it is currently legal (which I doubt) there WILL be a new law if this continues and people complain. Either way I stand behind my bad form statement. It’s Desolation Wilderness. You can’t even ride a mountain bike there. Just stay 2000 agl and enjoy the view from there. Be a good human. “If you fly a paramotor in the U.S you’ll be operating under Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) part 103.

I fly a PPC and would love to take it up at Tahoe. What are the winds like around those peaks?

Do you carry any survival gear? Looks like going you could be in deep shit if you had an engine failure.
Beautiful flight, by the way.
Awsome, Where Can I Get One For Under 5,000 $/£
Try craigslist.
@@Dreaklock cheers
Looks sketchy, hardly any outs.

You intentionally or unintentionally left out the word "Encourages". Also Paramotors don't operate under Part 91.

@@cleancarrotsound6803 Of course.....We're not happy unless we're complaining. It's the American way.
You also didn't include the words such as voluntary, avoidance, if practical and preferable that are written in AC91-36D.
