Learn to Power Paraglide!

Powered Paragliding is a great way to get airborne without the typical risks of fixed wing aviation. Our flying allows us to watch the world from the air.
What are Powered Paragliding Lessons Like?
Paramotoring is the newest and latest development in ultralight foot-launched air sports. The entire aircraft will actually fit in the trunk of your car! This is an exhilarating yet simple way to aviate, also being the easiest powered aircraft you can learn to fly. With minimal training by aviation standards, you can enjoy the incredible experience of flying anytime the weather is calm. The small, lightweight engine drives a propeller and the entire unit is strapped to your back with a harness that allows you to fly beneath a standard paragliding wing.
Almost anyone can learn to fly a powered paraglider. However, a degree of physical fitness and mental awareness is required. It is really quite easy to fly, but you are still aviating. The pilot's attitude to safety and airmanship is key for an accident free flying career.
We teach you everything you need to begin aviating safely and enjoyably.
