Also known as Powered Paragliding, paramotoring is very similar to paragliding except that a petrol motor attached to the pilot's back allows them to launch and fly from a flat field in little or no wind. Wikipedia offers two useful articles describing Paramotoring and Powered-Paragliding which may be helpful in understanding this aspect of the sport.

The IHPA does not provide training directly. If you want to learn to paramotor, you will need to go to a training school. They can provide you with full training under safe and controlled conditions.

For further information regarding paramotor training, contact IHPA Licenced PPG Instructor Jason Killian on 087 7979340 or the BHPA for a list of schools in the UK.
