This will be some of the most breathtaking flying of your career!

​

All inclusive adventure of a lifetime in our private villa.

If you are already a paragliding pilot with (at least) a Club Pilot rating, 5hrs+ and are current in your skills (including forward launches), you will go straight on to working with the motor with a view to getting you airborne by the end of the first day or at the start of your second day. As well as learning the necessary take-off skills, you will do many flights in circuit as well as flights out of circuit and practice various further skills.

​

We include all the equipment in each course or we can teach you on your own equipment after inspection.

​

Please note that we expect a basic level of fitness and you will need to be able to run a short distance. Paramotors can weigh in excess of 20 Kg and therefore this is not suitable for anyone with back problems (although you might be able to paraglide).

As part of our paramotor fleet, we include light weight paramotors especially for the sub 80kg pilot if required.

Trike courses coming soon!

This course is the entry level course for both paragliding and paramotoring and on completion, you will be able to progress to the second level (full qualification) Club Pilot Power course.

​

The cost includes all equipment. However, it does not include your membership to the British Hang Gliding and Paragliding Association (BHPA) which is required.

​

Unlike our Spain based courses, accommodation is not provided.

Learn in Dorset or Sussex.

This course includes all current generation state of the art equipment. It also includes all fuel for the paramotors.

Any breakages or damage must be paid for by the student

​

Choose Sussex or Dorset. Dorset is a stunning place to paramotor with an incredible landscape. We often fly over stately homes, iron age fortresses, follow river valleys and along the stunning Jurassic coast. We have a number of take off fields, located near Sherborne as well as over the Somerset boarder on the levels. Our fields are smooth enough to foot or trike launch.

In Sussex we fly the rolling South Downs and the white cliffs. Take in the castle of Pevensey and land marks such as the Long Man of Wilmington. Brighton or Pevensey Levels airfields.

​

Unlike our Spain based courses, accommodation is not provided. But we are happy to suggest local options if required.

This two part courses consists of 10 days basic instructor training for any TI / new potential power instructor.  The second 10 day module aims to polish your instructing and sign off any remaining tasks in order to prepare for your instructor examination. If you are already a Paragliding instructor, a ‘fast pass’ can be provided to jump to the last 10 day section.

 

We ensure that all our instructors are operating at the same extremely high standards and therefore have regular milestones that must be attained to complete the course within the minimum 20 days.
