CIMA
The Championship program of the FAI Microlight and
Paramotor Commission has steadily increased these
last few years. This is a result of the success of the
new Slalom Championships and growing interest in
competitions in South East Asia. The Commission is
now working on developing further Championships in
other continents.
Moreover, Paramotoring is now regularly included in
several multi-sport events such as The World Games,
as it is fast-paced, able to relocate around the world,
can fly in cities, beaches, over water or town squares
and delivers adrenalin-packed high quality action for
audiences.
