Paramotor course

Why Paramotor?

Because they are adventure machines!

It means you are able to fly when most paragliders are grounded due to lack of wind.

We have had many memorable flights, and a favourite was launching at Thames aerodrome, with a stunning flight to the Coromandel aerodrome for lunch, then a re-launch to fly over the Coromandel range to Matarangi on the other coast - all on one tank of gas. The views were breathtaking.

What makes a memorable flight?

• Good flight conditions
• Beautiful coastal and mountain scenery
• Smart piloting, ensuring enough height for landing options
  
• Reliable Paramotor (well maintained)
• Comfortable harness and good clothing to stay warm
• Preparation and training

This course is for anyone wanting their Paramotor licence.

You will first learn to fly a paraglider (25 flight equipment provided) to develop wing control, and then develop motor skills with 25 motor flights.

What you need:

1. Paragliding equipment for ground handling and short flights (all supplied)
2. You are required to have your own Paramotor for the motor part of the course

What you get after this course is completed

You get your PP (Powered Paraglider) licence to fly paramotor solo.

This course includes some paragliding but does not licence you to paraglide solo. That is why we supply the paragliding equipment, so you don't have to buy paragliding gear you may not use after the course.
