Who Are We?
The Western Powered Parachute Association LLC was formed in 2004 primarily to create an organization to manage the Western Regional Powered Parachute Championships. This event was the first formal powered parachute competition in the Pacific Northwest and drew 25 final participants.
As the sport of powered parachuting continues to grow we recognized the need for an organization focused on supporting the ever-increasing number of participants. The mission of the WPPA was therefore expanded beyond the single championship of 2004. That same year the FAA Sport Pilot rule was adopted. And our organization grew to respond to the needs of well over a hundred pilots who required support in their transition to sport pilot.
The Western Powered Parachute Association now has affiliate staff members that include:
o FAA Certified Flight Instructors, Sport Pilot PPC & Private Pilot
o An FAA Designated Airworthiness Representative
o FAA Repairmen with Maintenance Ratings for Powered Parachutes & other Light Sport Aircraft.
We provide training from introductory lessons through the FAA Certified Instructor course. Our flying is year-round in some of the most beautiful areas in the Western United States.
The Western Powered Parachute Association is affiliated with EAA Ultralight Chapter #127 Northwest Powered Parachute Coalition. This EAA chapter was formed, partly with the leadership of the WPPA, to provide social support to over two hundred powered parachute pilots who fly predominantly in the Pacific Northwest.
