Using information provided to the Safety & Training committees of USUA and USPPA, the following list was compiled to answer the need for a concise listing of these facilities. USUA encourages you to contact those on this list, and pursue your dream of flight. If you are transitioning from one form of aviation to another (EXAMPLE: Private Pilot to Ultralight Pilot, Ultralight Pilot to Sport Pilot, Airplane Pilot to Powered Paraglider Pilot, etc.), you will find this listing most helpful.
