The federal sports calendar targets several major competitions, including the classic paramotor World Championship, which will take place in Brazil next April. The FFPLUM technical staff summoned the discipline’s best competitors to this selection weekend. On the programme: manoeuvrability, accuracy and navigation events to assess and test the future members of the French team.
Despite fog on Saturday morning, the weather allowed the programme of events to run under good conditions at the foot of the Pyrenees. The final list of selected pilots will shortly be available in the Sport section of the Federation’s website.
