mpj29 Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Hi I am new to paramotoring and am deciding whether I should paraglide or motor. I have a quick question.....Do I need to get my doctor to fill out any forms to train with PMC, I only ask because I haven't seen my doctor in years and and I'm not keen on starting. Thanks for all you help.....incidentally, Parafest 2017 was fantastic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mpj29 Posted July 4, 2017 Author Share Posted July 4, 2017 thats cool, I have already done the Elementary pilot pg with a bhpa school, and was going to complete my training to club standard, then convert to power. But there are two things that I don't like: It seems easier to to go straight to a PMC school and do power with them straight.....not wasting any more time with paragliding which I wouldn't do as I could only buy 1 wing. And secondarily, I know that with a bhpa school, I need my doctor to fill out a medical certificate to get a PPG, I know it seems weird, but don't want my doctor involved, Ive not seen him for 20 years after he screwed up my mums treatment.
