A1 Paramotors
For non UK readers, the A1 is a major north/south road running up the east side of the UK. It goes from London up to Scotland.
Sunday afternoon about 3-ish, and I'm driving up the A1 about 10 miles south of Peterborough, Connington. I was quite amazed to see a para-motor? ( a chap suspended from a canopy with a huge fan on his back) tracking up the left hand side of the A1 at about 100'.
My Ppruner pax, a commercial pilot and I began to ask ourselves questions about the sensibility of tracking up the "wrong" side of a line feature and the legality of doing it at such a low height.
Are para-motors regulated to the same degree as fixed and rotary wing?
I have no grudge to bear, am merely interested!
