Accidentally Flying Paramotor in a Military Controlled Airspace!!
Accidentally Flying Paramotor in a Military Controlled Airspace!!
Always check your NOTAMS… It slipped my mind twice. But to be perfectly honest, I still would have flown there based on what that NOTAM said. It didn’t designate the airspace any differently than what it usually is – Class G. I’m guessing that was a miscommunication with the airport and the military. No biggie because they were kind enough to let us know and offer a solution.
Even if you’re flying from a field 2 miles away from a class G airport, check that airport’s NOTAMS. They could do what happened in this video and set up a temporary class D airspace with a 5 nautical mile ring which now puts your field in an area you can’t fly in without getting approval from the controlling authority.
Part 103.17 Operations in certain airspace:
No person may operate an ultralight vehicle within Class A, Class B, Class C, or Class D airspace or within the lateral boundaries of the surface area of Class E airspace designated for an airport unless that person has prior authorization from the ATC facility having jurisdiction over that airspace.

This Is how all confrontations should be handled with respect, communication and like intelligent adults.
It’s nice to see they were cool and respectful to you guys
Class D isn’t military
Man why couldn’t these dudes just say sorry and then bounce. Wasting the two military dudes time looks like it haha
you gotta be in CONSTANT communication with Air Traffic Control. nobody wants to be in an accident
You can’t hear the jarhead you dope, horriable
Dude why lie?
didn’t get a thing of what this gentleman was saying
They were so chill and professional. No need to get the FAA involved and get you in real legal trouble. Just a little "hey it’s NOTAMd"
They appeared to be really cool about it. They could have been real hard with you.
I’d ask him where his cover is.
Super understanding military guys.. impressed
I like that guy, "If ya got a radio, PLEASE come back" (I wanna see this cool shit, but I’m just doing my job…)
if there’s a tower. It’s at least class d.
Class D? SCP foundation
Lae
You better hope that thing has chaff
My luck they would have used the exploding fire noodle cannon on me
Imagine accidentaly flying in area 51
A very warm welcome into an MOA. Next time contact a local FSS and ask if the area is hot or cold
Lucky you didn’t get a ticket and your rig taken. YOU DO NOT FOOL WITH THE FEDERAL GOV
Glad they seemed cool about it
SCP fan here. Yes class d . D standing for disposal
Such a polite couple of soldiers! Dude, they put cops to shame
The Military are a bunch of Zealots!
Every spot is their spot from 12 noon to 12 midnight.
Waved you down multiple times continues to fly around for a few mins knowing full well they were there to talk to you.
His name is Fleeman and has a sick mustache. He’s like what I picture a high ranking military officer

I only clicked to see Class D SCP Fou dation personnel
Always check NOTAMs before flying, damn
What the heck is wrong with that officers fucking haircut tho😂😂

Uh PC GUY
G airspace is uncontrolled airspace, if its got a temporary tower, its controlled airspace.
Should’ve told those bugs about the flight restrictions🤣🤣

(INSTANT SCP FLASHBACKS)
Apache 6 target acquired 1 mile , Fox1, …..splash 1 para glider….. Nice job guys, its Bud time….
This is why you always Check the notams every flight, this is an amateur mistake
class d is cool. Class b on the other hand is GTA 6 star level
This is the problem with these new aerial vehicles that any dummy can buy and operate – paraglider and drones are the biggest threat to aviation there ever was. We had a near miss with two paragliders at altitude in a well know TMA no comms no transponders obviously, those canopies are big and bright but at 240Kt indicated you don’t see them, there would have been multiple fatalities and a very public case had we not deviated drastically from our set heading and altitude for these chaps. Just the fact that he asked during a Norma period of military operations if he could get an exception to continue to operate unsafely says everything you need to know, these guys were exceptionally friendly, the CAA would have prosecuted criminally no questions asked here or the military would have taken both into custody.
Did someone say class D
Where’s your cover sergeant? Lol
Lmao nope
As ex army full respect to these fellas. Professional and none confrontational. Got the result they wanted. Everyone’s happy.

“Accidentally” as he admits he’s known the military has been there a few weeks- 🤣🤣
