The pilot turns off the power unit at a height of at least 150 m AGL. The instructor familiarizes the pilot in advance with the different behavior of PK at different take-off weights.

Terms of fulfillment: The pilot can safely control the PPG during the landing maneuver and land in a confined space with the passenger and with regard to his safety.

8.9. PPG T pilot qualification exam

8.9.1. Theory

by a trial test approved by the chief traffic inspector. The traffic inspector will confirm the result of the theory test in the personal sheet. The theoretical part precedes the practical. In case of failure, it can be repeated after 14 days at the earliest.

8.9.2. Practice

It is carried out by an inspector with PPG T qualification. The test flight is carried out on a two-seater PPG, where the passenger is the examining inspector or a person authorized by him with a qualification of min. pilot PPG or MPG.
