bignos Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 I attempted training at 3 different places, all (in my opinion) were a waste of money. In the end i got flying, but with little or no knowledge of how and why. i am not a complete novice to flying and luckily i brought with me my training for PPL, so good met, air nav, air law etc, i am however very rusty on some of these. I do not want to be a statistic that people talk about and hence i am wondering what training i can do from here. Paramotoring is a hobby that i love and easily the best form of aviation that i have taken up, as a hobby i would like to better myself but am hesitant with paramotor 'schools' because of my bad experiences, that being said this site (as subsequently training?) are very helpful and professional so feel that this maybe the place to enquire... So, what can you do for me and whats it going to cost?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanman Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 You need a mentor rather than training. Look up an experienced pilot on the 'find a pilot' part of ParamotorsUK and fly with them. Their approach and knowledge will rub off on you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommcb6016 Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Do you fly alone most of the time ? I have picked up loads just chatting with and watching other pilots. I don't find books/forums much use as I learn by doing. Someone could tell me how to do something a million times and I still wouldn't have a clue but show me once and I generally remember.But maybe that's just me being a bit of a plank Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
