Danieldouglass Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Tjena My name is Dan I'm an English and I love all things flying, I am a skydiving instructor with 4000 skydive's and have completed about 11 hours of instruction flying planes (too expensive) So here I find myself pretty keen on getting started flying paramotors a nice combination and powered flight and canopy control. For the summer months I live and work near Göteborg, I will be coming back in April, So my question; does anybody know of any schools in the mid/south of Sweden (near goteborg) that operates weekday training in English that could help me towards getting in the air with power? Thanks for the help Dan x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danieldouglass Posted February 9, 2017 Author Share Posted February 9, 2017 Great thanks ollegartell and simon it can be tricky searching from another country! Especially when your useless at the language! Does anybody know what the rules of flying here are? Like lisence requirements? Can I train in the uk and fly in Sweden? Or do I need a Swedish lisence? Someone said something about appi? Thanks dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admin (Simon W) Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 If you talk to Anders at the link above, he will point you in the correct direction He is the Swedish CFI for the Paramotor Club. SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casper Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 (edited) http://www.paragliding.se/English/ "Sweden accepts and follows the international pilot licence system "IPPI" and it is highly recommended to have an IPPI licence card with you when flying in Sweden." Closest paramotor training is in Vårgårda with Christer http://www.paramotorskolan.se/ 60 km from Göteborg. And you also have a skydiving club in Vårgårda Edited February 9, 2017 by Casper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to come and fly at Vårgårda sometime soon (when i manage to get the motor running properly) so perhaps we could meet up. Always good to meet other pilots Tom.
