Equipped with a powered parachute certified by the FAA,[citation needed] the Maverick received experimental aircraft airworthiness certification on April 14, 2008, with N-Number 356MV.

[1] Capable of interstate speeds on pavement, the Maverick's dune buggy-like frame of chromoly tubing gives it the ability to be used off-road.

With a 22-foot mast, the Maverick can take off and land in weather conditions that other powered parachutes would not be able to safely operate in.

The developer, Steve Saint has said he envisions the Maverick being useful to the Huaorani and other Indian groups, farmers and ranchers, pipeline inspection crews and anyone else with a requirement to traverse rough, roadless ground.

[2] In 2012, the Maverick was accepted by the United States FAA to operate as an Experimental homebuilt, S-LSA, or E-LSA.
