Day-wise training syllabus (Paramotor P-1)
Day One
First day is spent in orientation, a brief classroom briefing
and the ground handling of paraglider. The various parts of
the paramotor and their functions are taught. Do's and dont's
of Paramotor flying is explained. A briefing on the various
safety measures, its basic care & maintenance and Inspection
is given. During ground training you are taught the following:
1. Theory of paramotoring
2. Understanding the engine
3. Inflation and take-off run with a dummy paramotor
4. Thorough ground handling with the paramotor
5. Assembling the paramotor
6. Ground run with the paramotor
7. Getting the feel of the throttle
8. Video session & classroom lecture.
Day Two
On the second day you practice take offs and landing with
the help of a winch. You will be winched up to a height of
50 feet with a dummy paramotor. You'll be carefully guided
with the help of Instruction radios to do a few take offs,
gentle turns and landings. Thereafter you'll participate in
the assembly and fitting of the paramotor. Follow the Inspection
procedures. Start up the engine for warming up. You make your
first powered runs on the ground. A team of one Instructor
& two assistants will be helping you around. By the end
of this session you would have learnt:
1. Take off, gentle turns and landings (Winched)
2. Pre flight Inspection
3. Assembling and fitting of the paramotor
