h3. Reason

This is almost the same amendment like 01a, except that it impacts only paramotor class. The issue of jet changes had been discussed on WPC'2016 meeting, but I am not sure if other microlight classes share the same point of view. In case Microlight Subcommittee will not recommend amendment 01a, then Paramotor Subcommittee will have an option to decide separately voting over amendment 01b.
