PAP, in association with Skyhub Paramotors in Dubai, have updated their Powerfloat buyoyancy aid for paramotor frames.
The Powerfloat fits onto the central part of a paramotor frame, and can be left in place even if the machine is dismantled.
In the event of a water landing, it will deploy automatically using a compressed air inflation system. (There is a manual release toggle as back-up too).
The aim of the Powerfloat is to prevent your motor from sinking into the murky depths, and thereby from dragging you under, but PAP reiterate thatit does not replace a personal life vest, which should also always be used when flying near water.
The Powerfloat is multi-use, with replacement compressed air cartridges available on Pap’s website.
