Yes.  The following aircraft types require a Pilot Permit Ultralight rating or higher.

– A fixed wing aircraft that is propelled forward by an engine and propeller.  Some aeroplanes have the motor mounted on the front of the aircraft (tractor configuration) which pulls the aircraft through the air. Other aeroplanes have the motor mounted behind the pilot (pusher configuration) which pushes the aircraft through the air. A “Stick” or “Yoke” controls the aileron (roll-axis) and elevator (pitch-axis). The rudder (yaw-axis) is controlled by the pilots feet. Some aeroplanes may only have elevator and rudder controls. The aeroplane may have one or two seats.

Powered Paragliding (Also referred to as Paramotoring or PPG)

– The pilot wears a back-pack motor (a paramotor) which provides enough thrust to take off and remain airborne using a Paraglider (wing).  The paraglider wing is attached to a back pack harness that the pilot wears.  Steering is performed by hand using brake toggles. A hand held throttle control allows the pilot to climb and descend. Powered Paraglider pilots generally use their legs as “landing gear”, running to lift off the ground and to land.  There are also cart options available.

Powered Parachute (Also referred to as PPC)

– The pilot sits in a wheeled airframe.  The motor and parachute is attached directly to the airframe. Steering is generally done with foot controls.  Throttle control allows the aircraft to climb and descend. Powered Parachutes are available in one or two seat configurations.

Trike (Also referred to as a Paratrike)

-These aircraft have a fabric flex wing attached to a suspended tricycle fuselage pod driven by a pusher propeller. The triangular control bar allows the pilot to “weight shift” to turn.  The control bar is pushed forward and pulled back to adjust the pitch. The pod may have one or two seats.
