SPAIN

An all inclusive Paramotor course?

Yes that's right!

Because we strongly believe in creating the very best environment for your learning experience and enjoyment.

From £2200 all inclusive own room.

Our power courses in Spain are run in conjunction with our sister company THE PARA LAB in October and February. For UK course info please scroll down.

Our state of the art paramotor training facility uses machines made by UK company PARAJET, one of the most innovative manufacturers of paramotor equipment. THE PARA LAB is also a test and development facility for new equipment, as well as being an academy of excellence for training instructors. The Lab is based in a large villa with full support of its garage and workshop just next door. The airfield and training slopes are in the grounds of the villa so it really is a fly in, fly out centre.

All in all a pretty unique set-up.

 

Based in Southern Spain, we run a range of courses teaching complete beginners, paragliding conversions, safaris, paramotor SIV, APPI to BHPA conversions and trike paramotoring. Using the most modern equipment and training techniques we will turn you into confident, talented pilots while placing a big emphasis on safety, as well as having a whole lot of fun. We can either provide the very latest Parajet gear or arrange to transport your own equipment out to us.

​

Suitable For

• beginners

• qualified paraglider pilots (EP min.) / rusty paramotor pilots

• 15hr plus pilots looking for fun and adventure

 

The Flying

We take a maximum of 6 people on Pilot Development/Adventure courses, Beginner & Conversion Paramotor courses. We support these with 3 to 4 instructors. The key to our excellence in teaching is the incredible talent and depth of experience of our instructors, along with the incredibly low student to instructor ratio.

This will ensure that you get the highest quality & safe tuition along with the most productivity from your week. Your progression will be accelerated, safe and fun.

We will provide you with the skill set and confidence that will make you a better independent pilot equipped for the challenges that lay ahead - be that active flying, cross country, confined landings, reading the weather and so on.

 

Trike flying is straight forward and if you'd like to learn, we'll teach you on the very newest lightweight trike from Parajet. This is a great way for people with back problems or trouble running to get into this wonderful sport.

 

Accommodation

We believe that comfortable and high quality accommodation is an important part of the learning environment.

 

Our base is a stunning villa which is a beautiful converted cortijo with a central courtyard and swimming pool. Located near the hill top town of Moron de la Frontera and just over an hour from Seville airport, it is easily reached by car from the airport. You will be completely spoiled from the moment you arrive. All meals and drinks are included and our meals use the best local ingredients so you'll get a real taste of local Spain.

You will have your own room, so no room sharing unless you want to.

Why not chill by the pool and take in the beauty of the surrounding views whilst waiting for your evening flight session...

Cooked & continental breakfasts, lunches and evening meals with drinks included.

Which course for me?

​

Entry CP Beginner Paramotor course no previous experience necessary.

This course will give you the very best foundation taking you towards your CP Power rating. On average, after completing all the preliminary ground and gliding work, students get between 3 and 5 solo flights in the air under power.

It is possible to book a 2nd consecutive week to gain the CP Power rating and even go beyond, working on pilot tasks, really consolidating your skills.

​

Paraglider Conversion Paramotor courses you must be at least a current Paragliding EP Hill or Tow.

The current CP hill pilot should gain the CP Power rating and get a couple of days after that to go cross country and really get stuck in.

 

Pilot Development/Adventure for those who are already qualified to paramotor (min. CP Power). Get your Pilot rating and an amazing adventure racking up airtime and experience.

​

If you have started a paramotor course and wish to complete it with BHPA qualifications, the CP/Conversion Paramotor course is for you.

UK COURSES

SUMMER 2023

​

These are non residential courses on the South Downs near Brighton with flexible days to suit you, run over June, July, August & Sept.

​

We can accommodate complete beginners as well as paragliding pilots who are looking for a paramotor conversion. 

We follow the BHPA training syllabus.

​

Module 1

Beginners EP Entry

You will spend 3 or 4 days developing non-motor skills and by the end of this you will be making non motorised flights from hills and developing really solid wing control skills. There will be an introduction and familiarisation to the motor unit and safe operating procedures, along with some thrust exercises. You will have completed most of the BHPA Elementary Pilot (EP) hill syllabus, which is enough for you now to progress to powered flight in Module 2.

​

Module 2

CP Power

Having gained the basic flight skills without the motor in module 1, it's now time to get kitted out with the very latest paramotor gear. Practicing inflating and launching with the motor and eventually moving on to flights in circuit. To complete your Club Pilot (Power) rating you will then make longer flights out of circuit as well as practicing more advanced wing control skills, engine failure practice and spot landing skills.

 

Conversion Course

If you are already a paragliding pilot with (at least) a Club Pilot rating, 35hrs+ 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. Again, you will do flights in circuit, flights out of circuit and practice 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).

Trike courses coming soon!

You can choose your dates based on your own schedule, however, the more time you can allocate, the better chance you have of completing your course. Once you have booked your course, you can book your days. If you have a day when we are unable to fly due to bad weather, you simply rebook that day.

Contact for availability for UK summer season. Starts May.

The number of places is strictly limited.

• A highly experienced teaching team of BHPA instructors

• Paramotor fuel

• Free train station transfers (if req)

• Self study theory pack issued prior to course

• Flying over the breathtaking South Downs
