Training

Our club offers paramotor training in a pilot-to-pilot mentorship format rather than through a traditional flight school structure. Training is typically conducted one-on-one and guided by experienced pilots within our community who have accumulated many years of real flying experience.

This environment is designed as a knowledge-sharing space for pilots and enthusiasts who want to deepen their understanding of paramotoring through practical guidance and real-world experience. It is not structured as a formal aviation school, but rather as a club-based mentorship environment where pilots support each other in developing safe flying habits and skills.

This mentorship-based approach has produced excellent results over the years. Many pilots prefer this format because it allows for a more personalized environment where knowledge is shared directly from pilot to pilot, with individual attention and practical guidance throughout the process.

A typical training progression generally involves around 8 to 14 days of training depending on weather conditions, the pilot’s pace, and overall progression. During this time we review important topics such as equipment setup and kiting, weather awareness, glider design, airspace considerations, FAA rules, weight and balance, and basic motor maintenance.

We also consider this training to be somewhat more immersive than many conventional introductory paramotor courses. Pilots participating in the program will experience the sport more deeply and gain a broader understanding of real-world flying practices that go beyond the basics typically covered in entry-level training.

Our goal is to promote safe flying practices while helping fellow pilots develop the knowledge, judgment, and confidence needed to truly enjoy the art of paramotoring.

Tandem flights may be used during the training process to provide real hands-on experience and allow the pilot to better understand flight control in actual conditions with the guidance of an experienced pilot. When appropriate, the pilot may have the opportunity to handle the controls during flight to better understand the skills involved before attempting their first solo.

Once the first solo flight is achieved, we continue supporting pilots with additional morning and evening flights that help build confidence and improve overall skills.

Paramotoring is highly weather-dependent. On flyable days pilots should expect physical preparation and field work, while on non-flyable days we focus on ground discussions and knowledge sharing related to equipment, safety, and flight conditions.
