A. A Powered Paraglider is considered an “ultralight vehicle”, governed by Federal Aviation Regulations Part 103. For a Federal regulation, this is an incredibly simple document of only a few pages, compared to the hundreds of pages governing standard category aircraft. Ultralights include any powered aircraft weighing less than 254 lbs., or any unpowered aircraft under 155 lbs, with some other requirements.
