Further Information
All UK courses start at 09:00 on a Saturday and end in the late afternoon/early evening depending upon the weather. During the day please bring appropriate footwear (ankle supporting boots are recommended), water, food, suncream and suitable outdoor clothing, including a jacket and trousers as it can get cold while flying. The nearest train station is Banbury, which is an affordable 20 minute taxi journey. For further information or to make a booking contact us.
UK Paramotoring Courses FAQ's
The UK Paramotor Courses start at 09:30 each Saturday and finish on Thursday afternoon/evening. The Taster Courses only run over weekends. Friday is usually the Team's day off, however, when it’s flyable we usually take advantage of it as we love helping get our students flying!
We only run the UK Paramotor Courses July and August, this is because the weather will most likely be able to provide better flying conditions during the summer months.
The nearest train station to the UK training site is Banbury, which is an hour’s journey from Marylebone, London. From there, you can take a 15 minute taxi to Shenington Airfield.
All lost Training days stay in credit for up to 2 years to be used at a later date. At the end of the course, the SkySchool Team will confirm how many days you have in credit with us.
The only benefit of training in the UK is that you do not have to travel as far, especially for those who live locally, as this saves them the cost of Travel and Accommodation. The UK is a great place to learn the basics, meet the SkySchool Team and make the most of the weather when it allows us to fly! However, the UK climate can never be relied upon to provide consistent weather, hence why we run the majority of our training courses overseas.
Accommodation is not included in the course fee in the UK. There is the option to camp or to bring a campervan to Shenington Airfield, which has some basic facilities including electricity, bathrooms and a kitchen. Alternatively, you can stay off site in a wide range B&B’s or hotels that can be found on AirBnB and Booking.com
The number of flights you can expect to do on a 6 day course in the UK is at least 1 solo flight.
