                                              PPGNB Field of Dreams!!  

In the last few years that there have been several potential student's that were very interested about taking Powered Paragliding training,  but were unsure about committing to taking a full Powered Paragliding (PPG) Course. They really wanted to get more information about the sport and see what PPG was all about before taking full training.

Therefore,  PPGNB has developed a One Day Introductory Training Course designed to answer these questions and to allow the potential student to see what paramotor flying and training consist of.

The course will cover the following:

  • Introduction to Powered Paragliding equipment (Foot Launch and Trike) detailing the pro's and con's of of each type of aircraft;

  • A  powerpoint presentation class covering how a Powered Paragliding is controlled in flight;

  • Practical hands on classes on controlling the Paraglider (Trike only) using the ground simulator;

  • Controlling the PPG trike on the ground to explain throttle control during launch; and

  • A 30 minute Tandem Flight where you will assist me in flying the aircraft giving you a full understanding of what PPG flying is all about.

The Tandem Flight  will give you a chance to really feel the thrill of flying a paramotor with a Transport Canada approved Instructor!!

The aircraft that will be used will be the Fly Products Xenit Trike.

These aircraft are used for Instructional purposes only and all potential students will sign a waiver in relation to this issue. 

The ground training will be conducted during the day and the Tandem Flights will only be conducted early mornings between 06:30 - 09:00 am or evenings after 6:00 pm. Of course, weather depending.

Minimum age for the course is 18 yrs old.  

Once you complete this Introductory Course you will have the required experience to make an informed choice to see if you seriously want to become a PPG Pilot.

Cost

  • Introductory Course $500.00;

  • Two personnel $399.00 each; and

  • If you decide to take a full Powered Paragliding Course, half of your cost will be credited towards your full course.
