BHPA Paramotor Pilot Course
From zero experience to a fledged paramotor pilot
Our Zero to Hero course takes people from no experience all the way up to pilot
The course takes on average 15 instructional days but this can vary a fair bit. The progression is on average as follows.
Day 1-3 Wing control - we spend the first few days mastering how to control the wing on the ground and during small unpowered hops. Ground handling doesn't stop here as its the core skill that makes a competent pilot it will be revisited throughout the course.
Day 4 Adding Power - We usually spend Day 4 familiarising our self with the motor and practising ground control.
Day 5-6 - First flight. day 5 and 6 are the days of your first flights. these a short 10-minute local circuit flights with lots of takeoffs and landings.
Day 7-8 Skill consolidation and first small cross country flights
CP Once the above are completed and you show the correct safe attitude to the flight you will be issued your CP rating which allows you to go and fly outside of a school environment. (yet restricted to been in site of your launch site) This is encouraged and is a great way to gain confidence in your piloting abilities. But your course does not stop here!
Day 9-11 We work on mastering the skills you have already learnt along with completing a range on wing control exercises.
Day 12-15 Cross Country We spend the last few days on cross-country flight learning how to navigate your way around the skies of Britain safely.
