Pendulum
The motorized hang glider
What is the pendulum?
The hang glider is a type of powered ultralight aircraft that combines the characteristics of an airplane and a hang glider. Imagine a rigid wing, supported by a lightweight structure, with the pilot comfortably seated underneath, in a cockpit. Unlike traditional airplanes, the hang glider has no fuselage, which gives it a unique and aerodynamic appearance.
How does it work?
The operation of the pendulum is simply fascinating:
Preparation : Before taking to the skies, you perform a thorough check of the aircraft to ensure it is in perfect condition. You then settle into the cockpit, perform safety checks, and prepare for the flight.
Takeoff : The microlight is equipped with an engine that allows you to take off from a runway. You accelerate until the wing generates enough lift to take you off smoothly into the air.
Flight : Once in the air, you have complete control over your aircraft. You can perform aerial maneuvers, climb quickly, or descend smoothly, all while enjoying a 360-degree panoramic view.
Landing : For landing, you follow a gentle trajectory towards the ground. The microlight is renowned for its soft landings, making it an ideal option for beginner pilots.
How much does it cost?
The cost of a pendulum can vary depending on several factors, including the brand, model, and whether you opt for a new or used device. In general, plan on spending between CAD 20,000 and CAD 100,000 to purchase a quality pendulum. It should be noted that some models may have special options that will influence the price.
As for training , it is necessary to
take a course with a Transport Canada qualified instructor. Training costs vary depending on the length and quality of the training, but plan on a budget of around CAD 5,000 to CAD 8,000 .
How long does it take to become a commuter pilot?
The length of time it takes to get your trike pilot license depends on several factors, including your commitment and availability for training. Typically, you can get your license in a few months by completing a comprehensive training course that covers piloting skills, safety, weather understanding, and more.
