Hey @flemingfarm, that's awesome! You don't need any license or cert for PPG in US, you are lucky. In canada we have to have an ultraligth pilot license, so a lot more training required to get that, but still worth it.

My PG instructor teaches PPG as well but most of the work is on the P2 then after I think 5 flights with the motor he will sign off on us. Crazy you need ullralight license. We have 3 pages of FAA rules governing us which are super tame.
Nice and ya a lot easier for you there without the license. The one good thing is that people who do it here are pretty committed since it takes so much time to get licenses, so you don't get as many one timers or people coming in with NO knowledge and wrecking LZs or pissing people off as well. Fewer people as well though.
Yeah that is one of the nice things about USHPA certifying LSs and LZs for PG here is we have some sort of governance to help keep the sites open for us all. Saturday I am going to get site intros for my local LSs and can't wait to get my wing so I can fly them.
Well that's awesome, good luck with the training and flying!
Thanks! I am beyond anxious and can't wait to get in the air!
