Anyone can learn to paramotor! Students come from all over the world, with most from the UK, Europe, and the Middle East. Ages range from 16 to 70, and more women have taken up the sport in recent years. While instruction is primarily in English, some instructors also speak Spanish, Portuguese, Turkish, and French. ### What should I wear for a paramotor course? Bring outdoor clothing for both warm and cold weather, including ankle-supporting boots, gloves, long sleeves, jackets, and trousers—avoid jeans as they restrict movement. Also bring lightweight outdoor clothing, a jacket and long sleeves for cooler temperatures at altitude. Suncream is essential. ### Is there a weight limit for paramotoring? There’s no fixed weight limit, but different equipment is needed for different body weights. Training is available for students up to 130kg; those over this weight may require custom equipment or a ParaTrike course, which can accommodate pilots up to 150kg. ### Is paramotoring safe? Yes, paramotoring is generally safer than paragliding when done with proper training and equipment. Paramotor pilots typically fly in calm conditions, reducing the risk of turbulence-related incidents that can occur in paragliding. ### How far can a paramotor fly? The world record for the longest paramotor flight is 1,130km, but typical flights last 3-4 hours on a 17-litre fuel tank. Depending on conditions, pilots can cover several hundred kilometres, especially with an efficient wing and downwind flight. ### How dangerous is paramotoring? The risk depends on the pilot’s training and approach. While the paramotor itself can be hazardous if handled incorrectly, professional instruction, adherence to safety rules, and proper weather awareness make the sport as safe as possible. ### Do you need a licence to fly a paramotor? No licence is required in the UK, as paramotors are deregulated under the Air Navigation Order. However, pilots must follow air law regulations, covered in the training course. Completing the APPI PPG Pilot course is recommended for safety and for flying legally in some other countries. ### Do I need to learn paragliding first? No, prior paragliding experience is not required. The training system includes hand towing to help beginners develop take-off, steering, and landing skills in a controlled environment. In some cases, paragliders may need to adjust their technique when transitioning to paramotoring. ### When does the course start? In the UK, courses start at 9am on Saturdays at Hinton Airfield. In Europe, they start at 9am on Mondays, with the meeting location confirmed via email or WhatsApp beforehand. ### Can I teach myself to fly a paramotor? Self-teaching is strongly discouraged. Without proper instruction, pilots may not be aware of crucial safety risks, making structured training with experienced instructors essential. ### How long does it take to learn paramotoring? Most beginners need 4-6 days of ground training before their first solo flight. Achieving the APPI PPG Pilot licence typically takes around 12 days, requiring multiple solo flights, set tasks, and a theory exam. ### Can you fly a paramotor without training? No, attempting to fly without training is highly dangerous. While paramotoring is one of the safest forms of powered flight, the risks increase significantly without proper instruction. ### Where do you provide paramotor training in Spain? Training takes place at Lake Bornos, about 1 hour south of Seville and 2 hours west of Malaga. We also fly from Conil de la Frontera on the coast, located 1 hour west of Gibraltar, near the famous Cape Trafalgar. ### Which airport should I fly into, and when do the courses start and finish? Students should arrive and depart on Sundays, flying into either Malaga or Seville Airport. The course begins at 9am on Monday and finishes around 18:00 on Saturday. Sunday is a rest day for the team. ### What are the best transport options in Spain? Most students choose to hire a car and share costs, coordinating travel plans through a WhatsApp group set up before the course. This makes transport more affordable and convenient. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/11b0cae5-12f2-48e0-bd71-41a62e81ca2d-scaled.jpeg - **Gallery image count**: 13 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
