As is the case with other types of ultralight aircraft in Canada, a pilot permit is required to fly a paramotors, it must be registered, the owner must have liability insurance covering risks of public liability and be in possession of a medical certificate.
Knowledge and practice is the key. Our courses are designed to progressively guide you through the steps nessesary to build your confidence and become a successful pilot. You will start by learning the basic theory and at the same time you will practice the basics for takeoff without the engine. The next step is to get you in the air, we use a hydraulic winch to simulate the takeoff. The pull of the winch will give you a very similar feeling to the push of the engine. This way we can master takeoff and landings before we add power to our flights. We will also learn about safety around the engine before we go for a high flight. Our training field has the perfect slope for training. This means that as soon as you are ready, you can go up and enjoy the view. In order to become a certified pilot you will need to Complete 30 solo flights 5 hrs of flight time under instructor supervision Write and pass the PSTAR and ULTRA Transport Canada examination Medical class 1, 3 or 4 20 hours of ground school Get a letter of recommendation from your instructor We highly recommend to learn with your own equipment. It is always better to become familiar with your equipment during training and while under instructor supervision before starting to fly on your own.

In addition, we always have spare parts for frames for paramotors in stock. |
