Paramotoring
|
Almost anyone can learn to fly a paramotor. However, a degree of fitness and mental agility is required. Although it is easy to fly, it is nonetheless still "aviation". The pilot's attitude to safety and airmanship is what ensures an accident free flying career. Remember there are old pilots and there are bold pilots, but no old bold pilots!
|
 |
As there is no regulation of paramotoring in the UK, some fliers choose not to follow a regulated training scheme - however, it is advisable that training is undertaken before attempting to fly - ideally, you should learn to control a paraglider (ground handle) very well before you embark on any paramotoring. Inflation techniques (getting the canopy to come up overhead), launching, turning, controlling flying speed, landing approach, landing, and canopy handling are all skills which need to be mastered.
As well as practical work, you will have to learn some basics in the following subjects: principles of flight, meteorology, aviation law and navigation. Obviously if you already have an aviation background, your learning curve will be accelerated (for example, a PPL holder will have already have knowledge of some theoretical topics, and his experience and airmanship will accelerate him through the course). Typically, an established paraglider pilot will be able to "upgrade" in a matter of days.
What Qualifications Can I Get?
The BHPA has a pilot rating scheme which allows you to achieve a rating in both paragliding and paramotoring, and also looks after the training and licensing of instructors. The BHPA also arranges insurance cover for various aspects of the sports.
Of course, as paramotoring is deregulated in the UK, some fliers choose to "self-teach", although this is not a route we would recommend for personal safety reasons.

Beginners
As you are probably aware, before you can fly a paramotor, you need a fair degree of competence It is our policy to teach our students before any powered flying may be attempted.
As well as learning the basic theory of flying a paraglider, you will be thoroughly introduced to the equipment, learn safety techniques, canopy handling and inflation techniques, as well as performing solo flying tasks from between 2000 and 500 feet above ground level.
|
 |
Initially, this involves canopy handling work, takeoff and landing practice, etc, until your instructor judges that you are ready for your first powered flight.
Under radio guidance, you will perform flight planning tasks, and start to build up your airtime. The course ends with a triangular "mini-cross-country" task, which will be performed to the satisfaction of your instructor.
How Much Does Paramotoring Cost?
|
With a budget of around £4,999 - £5,999 (depending on the unit chosen) you can buy new equipment and cover the basic tuition fees, making it by far the cheapest form of powered flying available. Second hand equipment is sometimes available, reducing the figure a little. The beauty of flying a paramotor is that you won't need to pay landing fees, hangarage, trailer, CofA renewals, check flights etc... Running costs are minimal - an hour's flying costs less than £3.60 in fuel and oil!
|
 |
|
There are many other accessories which you may want to buy although they are not essential - this includes instrumentation, a GPS (global positioning system), wind speed indicator, windsock, radio transceiver, headset, electronic rev. Counter, emergency back up parachute, map holder, thinsulate flying suit, flying boots, helmet with ear defenders, barograph, etc.
