Intermediate Training
The Intermediate course is designed for those who have either sat a 6 day beginners course, Paraglider pilots with more than 20 hours or Skydivers with over 200 jumps. The 6 Day Intermediate course is the second 6 days of the 12 day FLM training syllabus. It consists of more advanced training such as low level flying, precision landings, limited fuel tasks and cross country tasks. The course also covers more advanced theory including further meteorology, air law, navigation, and effects of the motor on the wing. At the end of the course students should be capable of flying a Paramotor safely and competently without the need for an instructor. Please be aware that we do not cover any advanced flying in this course such as Reflex training however for students who have completed an intermediate course can sit an Advanced course.
The UK Intermediate Training is only available to those who have their own kit as we strongly advise those looking to progress in this sport to sit a course in Spain. For all of our course dates view the SkySchool Calendar. Advanced training similar to that in Spain is also available for pilots with over 10 hours of flying. To book a course contact us directly or use the booking form.

The complete 12 Day course is made up of the 6 Day Beginners and 6 Day Intermediate course. The aim of the 12 Day course is for the student to become a competent, knowledgeable and safe pilot by completing up to and more than 3 flying hours in as many as 15 solo flights however this is never guaranteed as both the weather and individual student performance are out of our control.
