Welcome to another exhilarating episode of The Paramotor Podcast! Today, we sit down with Alexis Quintana—president of the United States Powered Paragliding Association (USPPA), accomplished paragliding pilot, and team pilot for the Airythmia paramotor flight demonstration team. In this conversation, we dive deep into one burning question: Why should someone join the USPPA? While skydivers and hang gliding/paragliding pilots must maintain memberships to access coveted flying locations and ensure safety standards, powered paragliders enjoy the freedom to launch from almost anywhere. So, what then is the role of the USPPA? Alexis unpacks how the USPPA is shaping the future of paramotoring by: Setting Community Standards: Learn her insights on creating a unified safety protocol and fostering respect at fly-ins—both sanctioned and unsanctioned. Empowering New Pilots: Hear valuable advice for a father guiding his 13-year-old daughter into paramotoring, along with a heartfelt woman-to-woman perspective for young women entering the sport. Tackling Challenges: Explore the pressing issues facing the powered paragliding community and discover how the USPPA is actively working to address them. Whether you're an active pilot, an aviation enthusiast, or someone curious about diving into powered paragliding, this episode is packed with actionable advice, inspiring stories, and a fresh look at the importance of community in aviation. Join us as Alexis Quintana explains why USPPA membership matters—and how it could transform your flying experience!
