Colorado air traffic controller paramotor commute

Overview

Jake Hutzler, a 28-year-old air traffic controller in Pueblo, Colorado, has gained attention for commuting to work via paramotor. The flight typically lasts about 20 minutes, during which he flies at approximately 35 mph over local terrain and highways.

To ensure safety, Hutzler maintains constant two-way communication with his colleagues in the control tower, particularly because his paramotor is too small to appear on radar. He uses a Parajet Maverick system with an Ozone Sirocco 3 wing, preparing his equipment in an open area near his residence before flying to the airport ramp.
