What is Paramotor?

Thank you for expressing an interest in the Paramotor Program. It is the latest concept in recreational sports and hottest sport of today for high energy and adventurous people.

The Paramotor is a motorized parachute that is foot launched from the ground, self-contained, and worn like a backpack. Learning to fly the Paramotor takes only a few days and does not require any previous flying experience. The Paramotor is so versatile that it can be taken with you on vacation and/or transported in the back of your car in a portable carrying case.

The Paramotor combines the thrill of skydiving with the ease and safety of parasailing. We have long had the aspiration to float through the sky free as a bird; this is exactly what can be done with paramotoring. This is your chance to expand your horizons where you will learn new ideas and experience new sensations. Your life and viewpoint of the world we live in will be altered forever, after you have explored flight.

The skies are truly the last free open area to enjoy, and this is what the paramotor is all about. It's a most remarkable feeling to realize you are actually flying. Whether flying low over the beach or open fields, or high over the land riding thermals, you can experience the freedom, the independence and the achievements of man's oldest dreams.

Our goal is to promote this sport to a worldwide audience and to offer the world's best flying equipment in terms of safety, ease of operation, versatility, durability and cost.

Paramotor Training Courses overview

Flying a paramotor requires a little more training than regular paragliding. After all, you are still flying a paraglider and you have an engine which changes your wing's launch and flight characteristics. Our complete 20 hour course teaches you to launch with a motor and achieve solo flight controlled by an experienced instructor using a radio.

We begin with; flight school covers ground handling and equipment familiarization and then progresses to teaching launch technique with the motor. When you have demonstrated adequate glider control, together with an understanding of launch and landing techniques, practice for the first solo flight begins. Skills such as spot landings, turns, reading the weather conditions, powered flight techniques, reserve and emergency procedures are all part of the course.

Most students will fly with the motor by the fifth day of lessons, if flying skills allow.
