Take Flight with Aviator Paramotor
Ever dreamt of soaring through the skies with the freedom to fly anywhere, anytime? At Aviator Paramotor, we don’t just teach people how to fly—we create capable, confident, and safety-conscious pilots through the most comprehensive paramotor training program in the country.
This is a Beginner Wheel-Launch Course
What does that mean?
Our beginner wheel-launch (WL) courses are in conjunction with our foot-launch (FL) courses, meaning you will go through this class with students who are learning to FL. The first few days of class consist of learning the basics of paramotoring, the ins-and-outs of a paraglider, and mastering ground control kiting on foot. The experience and skill of learning to kite on foot vastly improves the experience of learning to WL, so for this reason we still need students to be physically able to run around a field while kiting a glider. If you are physically unable to do this, we can skip this portion and go straight to kiting on the trike. Please contact us first with your concerns and physical condition before signing up so that we are aware and can make adjustments to our schedule due to this.
The same ground school will be taught to both foot launch (FL) and wheel launch (WL) students, with the addition of one module to highlight the key differences involved in launching/landing procedures on a trike. If able to ground handle on foot, the WL student will advance all the way through towing operations before they transition to WL field operations.
**Again, please contact us before signing up for this course if you are physically unable to do any ground handling on foot
Our Lake Wales, FL training facility is designed to give students an elite learning experience, combining hands-on instruction, classroom education, and real-world flying scenarios. Whether you’re looking for a new adventure, a fresh challenge, or a lifelong passion, our expert team is ready to help you take that first step.
What to Expect During Trike Launch Training
Classroom Training
Our training includes multiple in-depth courses to learn the ins and outs of trike flying, maintenance, and ownership.
Ground school modules will cover all fundamentals of trike and wing control, with video and live demonstrations.
Ground Handling
Learn how to taxi a trike, first without the wing to familiarize the pilot with throttle control, steering, and instructor radio communication.
This will be followed by forward inflation practice with and without A-assist, taxi practice with the wing.
Trike Flying
As much flying as the weather and flying windows allow! Each flying session will include close instructor supervision and communication.
You will practice launching, landing, touch-and-gos, and more advanced ground handling in the trike.
Tandem Exemption
If the pilot desires, and shows appropriate aptitude, you will learn how to safely and legally fly with passengers.
- Full ground school discussion of tandem exemption regulations.
- The importance of tandem safety, decision making, and redundancy.
- How to set up the trike for safe tandems, as well as how to balance trikes for various passenger weights.
