Aviator Paramotor currently trains nearly 300 students per year, and while training time varies from student to student, it generally takes 8-14 days to go from zero to hero. We work hard to ensure that students are safe and confident in their PPG skills so they can launch, maneuver and land their paramotors skillfully without assistance or challenge. Emphasis is placed on safety from the beginning, along with fully understanding the rules, regulations, physics & complexities of the sport.
We are one of only a few full service schools in the U.S. to offer FREE rental for ALL our state-of-the-art equipment (motors, wings, helmets, radios, floatation, etc). We don’t want you to feel pressured to buy equipment without knowing exactly what it is you want, from an educated, experience based perspective, rather than one solely based on marketing. Other schools charge an average of $2,000 just for rentals. We don’t.

Physical Training Requirements
Sometimes students underestimate the physical work of training. Early mornings and long days for the duration of the course are the norm. It’s a fast-paced, building-block style training: Plan for a full 14 days as paramotor is a 100% weather-dependent sport. (We build in time for weather delays). We only have you for 2 weeks, so be prepared to sweat. Come conditioned for running and working outside for most of the training.
To be upfront, our pace and long hours can be daunting for the sedentary or those that do not exercise regularly. We are not saying it is impossible, only that our program requires a level of sustained fitness throughout the 14 days. Each day you are taught a new skill that culminates in flight—students that come through who are not physically where they need to be, have a much more difficult time.
We know that YouTube makes flying paramotors look easy. What you often don’t see is the exhaustion, pulled muscles, joint strains, etc. Use your flight goal to get yourself as physically fit as possible to get the most out of our program. We encourage you. If you’re excited about a flight, do not put this off. Being in shape will make this easier and more fun!
Due to manufacturer guidelines and in order to provide a safe training experience, Aviator Paramotor schools operate under these strict guidelines regarding weight and age: You must be under 300lbs and over 18 years of age.
