davieboy33 Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Hi all.. I have a quick question. I am thinking of going to Dune de Pyla to get some canopy handling training. Does any body know a school that are running courses during october ? I understand i cant fly a paramotor in france without a licence but think the canopy side of things will help a lot. interested in members feedback Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Visiting pilots have a 90 day exemption, I'm told, Cheers, Alan _____________________ Dudek ReActionTST 29 Fresh Breeze Airboss (Solo) Previous Posts: 739 (logged as Alan K) Location: Prissac, France Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob_jones Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 I went to the Dune last year with paraglider and motor, you defo cannot fly the motor down there as its surrounded by large pine trees and any engine out is going to see you hanging from them like a monkey. As for canopy playing, just get out there and get amongst it. There are some shacks on the side with paragliding schools so no doubt you can ask them for some instruction. Take a harness and you can get some cracking runs done and a bit of "Waga" going Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 I disagree.... I think you can fly a paramotor from there for sure. Just fly on the water side of the dunes and follow the coast. SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
