Paramotor - An Introduction

Paramotor flying is enormous fun.  Paramotors are small enough to carry in the boot of your car, and the short take off distance required means you can take off from a field near your home.  You can paramotor with a group of friend at sunset, or set off on a paramotoring expedition that lasts the whole day - the choice is yours.

Paramotor Tuition 

Paramotor training needs to be staged, so that you master the basics of flying a paraglider first, before adding the complexity of a paramotor into the mix with elements like power, thrust & torque.

To get a taste of what it's really like to fly under power read this account of a paramotor flight over the West Pennines by some Airways Airsports paramotor students.

Paramotoring Trikes

The newest development in paramotors is the paratrike.  Taking all the effort out of paramotor launching, the paratrikes use a 3-wheeled buggy instead of the pilot's feet to take off and land.

If you want to learn to fly a paramotor or paratrike in Derbyshire Peak District why not try our paramotor day taster?
