Not for those wishing to Paramotor If you want to Paramotor, by Noel Whittal's book, Paramotoring. All of what you need to know about free flight for Paramotoring is in there including weather air law etc. The books are so similar in this regard it is almost too coincidental. The Paramotoring chapter is very light in this book.
A very good book for free flight however. I have rated the book from a Paramotoring position. For just Paragliding I would give it 4 stars.
The Bible for paragliding students This book is a great reference for anyone starting out in paragliding, listing all techniques, air law and weather conditions. While not very creative or inspiring, it is a book that you keep going back to.
