Paramotor Training The Parajet Experience

Parajet Flight Training

Paramotoring is the most rapidly developing form of aviation. This is because of the simplicity and low cost of the sport but also due to the fact that it is extremely safe and enormously good fun! A Paramotor fits easily into the back of a standard car and allows almost anyone to fly without a license at a fraction of the cost compared to other aircraft.

Parajet offer 6 or 12 day courses at Europe’s leading paramotoring school run by a small number of professional and passionate instructors. Courses take place 25 minutes from the Costa Brava coastline and just south of the Pyrenees in a beautiful part of north east Catalunya on a private airfield called Aerodromo Ordis or in the rolling hills of Wiltshire not far from the Parajet factory in Mere. The 6 Day beginner course combines with the 6 Day intermediate course to make the 12 Day Addiction course.

This a fantastic and unforgetable way to safely enter the sport of paramotoring.
