Hi
The paramotor pilot who you refer to was coming back into my Brooklands Farm Microlight strip which is between the A14 North and the A1.
It is the home of Paramotoring in the UK we have held some of the largest Fly In's and National Competitions at the field which has been
established for over 10 years at this site.
The approach back to the field from the Southwest brings the pilots in on the West side of the A1
as the East side of the A1 has a large lake to the south of the field so it is always safer to run alongside West side of the A1 before
turning in to the field.
The majority of Paramotor pilots in the Uk have had training and do know about the Air Law. Met. Nav. Weather etc. As we teach to pilots who train at the Paramotors UK. site.
Over the years all types of pilots have been converted to Paramotoring.
We do not fly oversized pillowcases LOL as one guy has stated on this link. But very high tech designed wings which have variable geometry adjustable in flight to suite conditions. each year they get more and more refined in there design.
The sport has been around for the past 25 years. and since the exemption was introduced in 1996 there has been no
deaths in the UK making us the safest form of aviation in the UK so we must all be doing it right.
Low flying is generally carried out on set aside fields either side of the main runway for safety reasons this is to get the student pilots used to
there landing approach without the need to use the main runway which can remain clear for Microlight use. For any of you who pass by the site
and are interested in seeing the sport close up please feel free to drop in you would be more than welcome. directions at the following

You could also see how we can actually fly below ground level now there is something which will leave you thinking.
