Starting from a Simple Exercise
I've heard stories, that to become a pilot it is not easy, requiring exceptional skills, have knowledge of balance and aero dynamic, not afraid of heights, can expel a sense of panic in a very short time, and requires great care very deeply. In addition, we who want to learn to be a pilot would have to spend a huge cost, coupled with the issue of health, physical strength and so on.
In recent days, I was asked by my colleagues to lead him in the pilot schools. I had thought that I would soon see advanced aircraft, with a very interesting technology. But, it all was merely a utopian me only. Why? Because after arriving at the place he wanted to learn to fly, I just saw a parachute with a simple flying machine.
We parked the car on the beach in Lhoknga, I was dumbfounded, because we did not stop at the airfield as I imagined. Apparently, this is where he will learn to be a pilot. There are only a few members of the airfield which has been waiting for him. Once I asked him, he said, that the pilot was not only significant as a driving aircraft, but, every person who can control something that can fly, has been referred to as a pilot.
Well, I'll see him practicing. Because my friend was a new student in a school of flying, but by using the parachute, he previously only had training in the form of theory. Just today she is holding for the first time that fly parachute.

Adjusting balance in the ground
Although we are still on the ground, and has not flown into the air, controlling the parachute is not an easy thing. Look my friend, he fell down and shriek above the sand because of loss of balance, every move will affect the parachute system that will work.
Flying Engine
After passing through all the stages of training on the ground, then later we are introduced to flying this tool, a engines that have rotor blades on the back seat, and we also will be equipped with a GPS. Control devices such as gas accelerator we hold by hand and control the parachute also be on our hands.
Extra tool
In addition, when using glyphs, we are also equipped with other tools, such as the reserve parachute and helmet as safety systems. At the helm there is also a radio that we can use to communicate each other.
Things that are important to note
When using this tool, we must notice everything from communications equipment, safety rope as well as the fuel. The fuel used for flying parachute engine is quite savers, this engine uses gasoline.
