FAQ
There is a lot of questions about training, this will help you get started.
What is the price?

What is paramotoring or powered paragliding?
Flying a paramotor is the cheapest, most rewarding, and probably the safest form of aviation available to the public. In some cases, it allows you the freedom of flying from your back yard. It offers the convenience of packing up your aircraft and taking it to almost any location to fly. It is probably best described as “the motorcycle of the sky”. You pull the glider into the air allowing it to inflate and become rigid. You use the propeller from the motor to create thrust and help the glider to provide lift for you to climb, allowing you to run into the sky.
How safe is it?
Flying a paramotor is the safest form of aviation, and much safer than a lot of other sports as well. Once you are
up and away from the ground the risks becomes minimal. You can decide the level of risk you are willing to take, but
it is important to understand the consequences and inherent danger that come with risky behavior.
How old do you have to be?
There are no age requirements, but you must be physically fit and able to walk with a 45 to 65lb. motor on your back.
The training is the hardest part. It will take an effort to learn the required techniques.
What do I need to fly?
The best part of flying a paramotor may be the convenience. You only need the paramotor itself, the glider, and a helmet.
All the equipment can easily be packed into a small vehicle and taken to any suitable location.
Are there rules?
There is very little regulation in the sport of paramotoring. In the USA paramotors are regulated by the FAA as ultralight aircraft under the rules of FAR Part 103.
wich are covered in training.
Where can you fly at?
You can fly a paramotor almost anywhere! However, there are a few places that are good to avoid.
During training, you will learn all about airspace and what are good, safe locations to fly.
What if the motor dies?
If the motor dies it only means you have lost our ability to maintain altitude, and you will begin to glide to the ground.
Most gliders average an 8 to 1 glide ratio. Meaning for every 100 feet away from the ground you are, you can glide for 800 feet.
You would be coming down at around 3MPH and traveling forward at around 20MPH. In most cases, it will be no more than a inconvenience of an unplanned landing.
Do you need a license?
There is no license required to fly a paramotor, but there are rules and regulations that are necessary to know.
Getting good training is highly recommended to keep you safe in this sport.
How long does it take?
Our classes usually start on a Friday and average 7 to 10 days.
Weather is always a factor.
Does it all have to be done at once?
We like to accomplish as much as possible at one time and like to have at least three training days in a row minimum.
Sometimes the weather does not allow for this. If for any reason you have to come back to complete your training, that is not a problem.
We will work with your schedule the best we can.
Do I need equipment?
We can provide all the equipment necessary for getting you into the sky for your first flights.
We will also help with the purchase of the equipment when you are ready.
What will I learn?
You will learn:
About the risks involved in paramotoring.
All the techniques necessary to launch and land successfully.
The basics of how to maintenance your paramotor, and keep your equipment working.
About the weather, and when it is okay to fly.
