Our Courses

Paragliding and Paramotor

  • $6600

    The P2 course is your ticket to flying freedom. We will cover all of the USHPA required in-flight tasks for certification, and then move on to more advanced techniques, ground handling, etc. The USHPA syllabus, which we wrote, is available for free ($100 value) to Chicago Paragliding students and it prepares you for the P2 written tests. Once you have completed the required tasks we will get you set up with your own equipment, and prepare you for flying other sites, including your mountain “check-ride” flight.

    At the conclusion of this course you will be certified to fly solo, safely and confidently, without your instructor's supervision. However, we encourage all of our graduates to continue to fly with us and other alumni of our program as they work towards their P3. At Chicago Paragliding you are always one of our students and are always welcome back for refreshers, advice, tips, etc. Our graduates often call us from opposite ends of the Earth for advice. As one of our P2 students, you are a student for life and we are always here for you, and helping you progress toward your P3 and P4.

    For pilots who already possess a minimum P2 certification. We offer PPG training that requires your own equipment and motor purchased through us. We cover all the skills required to safely launch, land, navigate, and maintain a modern paramotor. Since many of the skills learned during a P2 course cross over to PPG, the PPG course usually only takes a few days.
