2-3 Day Foot Launch or Trike Training
Warning: The journey toward your first paramotor flight will be life changing and addiction forming. Prepare to see the sky forever differently.
There is no FAA requirement for training in Part 103 ultralight aircraft, and in this spirit we like to get students flying safely on their own with a minimal financial and time commitment. Paramotors are by far the easiest aircraft to fly, and many new pilots train themselves successfully. But this is stressful and most often they damage their gear in the process (and occasionally their bodies). We set up our training program to make it a no-brainer to choose some training over no training. This is our syllabus and pricing. All training gear is included.
Training is free for students that purchase their gear through us. We carry all of the most popular brands of paramotors and wings, and always offer the most competitive pricing. The gear does not need to be purchased upfront. We will give you a refund of training toward gear purchase.

We train year round and will gladly work with students one at a time, not requiring a minimum number of students to form a course. This means new students can get started right away and train on their schedule. Our Southern California climate provides great flying conditions almost every day! There’s nothing more frustrating than planning a trip months out and thousands of miles away, to end up grounded because there’s a storm that week. There is absolutely no reason to leave our wonderful state!
Skydivers can plan on 1-2 days. We are skydivers too and know exactly how to adjust your piloting techniques from a low aspect ratio canopy to a high performance paramotor wing.
We also offer discounts on gear for our students. We like to carry as many brands of paramotors and wings as possible to give new pilots the greatest number of choices.

Trike Launch Training Details
We are very excited to offer a revolutionary trike training program that is getting new pilots safely flying as quickly as one day. We use a custom training trike like nothing else offered by any other schools. It has been so successful that we have recruited individuals that had absolutely no interest in learning to fly and showed them how easy it really is. We will be adding details here in the future but be sure to reach out to us for more information.
