Julian W Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Hi, I was booked in to train with Skyschool in Italy this June but have had to drop out due to my wife having an operation. I've been looking around and have found Foot Fight Paramotors who are actually quite close to where I live. I'm thinking that I may be able to train over the coming year in between looking after my wife while she is incapacitated and recuperating and wondered if anyone on here knows Foot Flight and could recommend them? They appear to have a good reputation so I put in a call to Alex who seemed a decent bloke but it doesn't hurt to get an opinion or two from people with first hand experience of the trainers... Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admin (Simon W) Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Alex Anderson is a decent option. Welcome to the Paramotor Club!!! Please do keep us up to date with your training SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian W Posted April 13, 2018 Author Share Posted April 13, 2018 Thanks Simon, I'll be meeting up with Alex on Monday weather permitting and if all goes well will start training on Tuesday. I might start a training blog on here for other noobs too, let's see how it goes! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyB Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 I learnt with Skyschool. Superb training. I am going on a XC across France from Rouen to the Alps with them this summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian W Posted April 16, 2018 Author Share Posted April 16, 2018 I spent a good part of the day with Alex Anderson at Foot Flight today and found him to be a good trainer, I managed to pick up a fair bit from him and have now signed up for the full course. I hope to revisit Skyschool, probably next year, to join one of their adventure weeks. After today I'm confident that Alex will get me flying and certificated in plenty of time for that. Thanks for your feedback everyone, this is a good friendly site! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julian W Posted April 16, 2018 Author Share Posted April 16, 2018 Thanks Simon, I just checked out the PMC summer fly-in in July, not sure I'll be ready for that but I'll see how I progress and if there are any spaces left nearer the time may give it a look in... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julian W Posted April 17, 2018 Author Share Posted April 17, 2018 I may well do that, depends how much holiday I have left by then - I'm trying to use a fair bit on training time before the wife has her op... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pho3nix Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 I used to see a couple of paramotor guys flying around Braintree quite often, it's something I'd like to try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
