What could be the longest duration on a single paramotor flight?

The duration of a single flight depends on two primary factors -

  1. the weather conditions,
  2. the fuel capacity. If the weather is good one can switch off the engine and soar for long duration, say three to four hours.

On continuous power the fuel consumption is around an hour for every three liters of fuel. Modern paramotors will have at least 10 litres of fuel carrying capacity.

How fast can one fly?

The speed of a paramotor is limited to the speed of the paraglider which could be around 35 to 50 kms per hour. But the ground speed depends on the wind speed and the direction. You can cover distance faster if you fly with the wind and slower against the wind. Paramotor is generally used for recreation more than as a mode of conveyance.

However all pilots are expected to maintain a logbook to show their experience level. In absence of national policies, many states in India have come up with safety guidelines to reduce risk factors and control accidents.
