My third ever paramotoring flight, this time from a different site which unfortunately carried some new variables - the field itself is in bit of a dip, therefore the wind seems to sheer across the top of it causing unpredictable wind which resulted in my landing being bit of a disaster. Despite two wind-socks, myself and my flying colleague (far more experienced than me) both were confused by wind direction on our landings/takeoffs.
My take-off however was fairly good and the flight itself was great as the scenery around the location was beautiful.
Mistakes made:
- Forgot to close the trimmers before landing, I accidentally left them on neutral and therefore the landing was fairly quick instead of soft and slow.
- I incorrectly determined the wind direction for landing and ended up landing slightly cross-wind which consequently caused me to muck up the flare and land whilst trying to level the wing.
