Don't dream about it, do it!
To obtain the PARAMOTOR pilot license, you need:
- Be in good physical condition;
- Be at least 15 years old;
- Hold the common core theoretical certificate, issued by Civil Aviation. It is an exam in the form of multiple choice questions (60 questions, 1h30). The tests can be taken in an examination center in NOUMEA.
- Have satisfied, with the paramotor instructor, to:
-
A ground test (control of theoretical knowledge of the Paramotor).
-
A flight test (Verification of the procedures and the ability to pilot a Paramotor in complete safety. Can be carried out in continuous control, or by a specific flight).
These tests are specific to the ULM class. The instructor draws up the various certificates, which will be required by the DSAC to which he is attached, for the issue of the pilot's license.
