I personally went to a different school and it was a great school, but every person I fly with who went to aviator, left with a lot more knowledge than the ones who went to the school I attended. Not just about how to fly, but about how to make the decisions of when to fly and what can happen if you fly when you’re not supposed to. Aviator teaches you so much more about the weather and other things that help you figure out when it’s safe to fly, where it’s safe to fly etc I’m constantly learning after my training that the aviator pilots learned and left with more knowledge than the ones attending my school. Like I said my training was great and I had an awesome and super skilled instructor and I got my money worth. But aviator teaches their students so many things that I didn’t learn in my school, and now those pilots that aviator trained are now helping me learn. For that I felt it was only right that I give them a 5 star review.
We have gone up 2 times on the trike and it was incredible. I can’t wait to come and do the 2 week course. This school has great instructors who love this sport and they train a lot of people. This is ideal because they have so much experience, one instructor was saying they could tell by the shape of the canopy in the sky what the student was doing with their hands. I have spoken to students who were training and they said the confidence they got from the training was great. You want to feel safe up there and be able to enjoy every minute of it. Warning, if you have never been this is very addicting!
Absolutely fantastic! I came to training with high expectations but I was very inspired when I realized those expectations were exceeded on day one. Now that I finished my training I can say that this is something special. Great community, great instructors, great ground school program and great gear. Bottom line, this is the best option for PPG training. ¡Gracias Aviator PPG!
I trained with Aviator as a part of the January 16th 2021 Dunnellon class and would whole heartedly recommend Aviator to anyone who wants PPG training. The class was supper thorough and kept a fast pace from just learning the basics in the first few days to rehearsing and polishing skills by the end of the first week. Everyone in my class was up and flying by the end of day 5. Due to weather and winds we spent the beginning of the second week working out ground school and continuing to hone in on ground handling skills. Once we got flying again in the second week it wasn't to long before the instructors had us doing no com solo flights which was really confidence inspiring. On graduation day we opted as a class to get more repetitions in and practice launch and landings. Throughout the two weeks the instructors did an amazing job in teaching the skills, "book knowledge", and showing a positive attitude around all aspects of the course. Another Confidence inspiring thing was how focused the instructors where on the safety of the class throughout training and having a debrief after every session to discuss. The instructors also did an outstanding job in bonding the class together like a family keeping the focus on everyone's success. While training I also opted to buy gear From Aviator. It was such a surprise to me that the owner of the company, Eric was the one helping me pick out gear and place my order. He really showed his knowledge, dedication, and passion to helping other achieve safe flight. By the end of it I had all the gear I needed to start flying when got back home. After such amazing training and guidance in getting gear, I plan to do what I can to support Aviator in the future and recommend their training to anyone looking to Learn how to run into the sky.
I went to Aviator for training about a year after I started drooling over YouTube PPG videos. I looked at a few schools, but it was clear to me that Aviator Paramotor was the right choice for me. Immersive training by a group of expert and patient instructors is what I really wanted out of my experience. Even with my high expectations, I was still pleasantly surprised with the quality of the training. I was really impressed how they got a bunch of new pilots into the sky safely and quickly even though none of us had kited or otherwise prepared prior to arriving at their door. The class time was great covering a wide range of topics like weather, wing design, paramotor maintenance, how to make calls on aviation radios, , reading airspace maps and more. The time spent analyzing our every take-off and landing after flights was extremely useful to correcting our form and technique early before bad habits set in. What they don't really tell you however, is how much fun you will have over your two weeks. I don't think I've ever laughed so hard as I did with my fellow Aviators / instructors. It is an experience like no other. If you are considering PPG, I suggest you don't delay another minute. Life is short. Sign up now to begin a bright new chapter in your life. You won't regret it!
Eric, Travis, and James introduced me to the sport of PPG back in 2015. To this day I'm very appreciative of that experience. I didn't train with them, only because I decided to train with an instructor closer to me because of convenience train after work, closer drive, etc. But I later purchased new equipment from them after training. Eric Farewell took the careful time to help me choose the setup that would suit my needs. I went with the Air Conception Nitro 200 and Ozone Spyder. They were very communicative with me throughout the order process and got me an ETA and tracking number as soon as they could. I've been very happy about the support I've received over my entire experience with these guys so far. There was a slight miscommunication about the gas tank upgrade option. I thought the extra cost was to receive the bladder tank along with the plastic tank. After I received my motor, I realized I was wrong after getting some clarification. Was not a huge deal, I wanted both only because the plastic tank could hold a little more fuel for cross country flights. Later on to my surprise, I got an email about a tracking number from them. They went above and beyond and sent me the plastic tank free of charge! On top of this, I've been getting very good support on setting my equipment up through calls, texts and facebook chat. I took my first flight on my new setup and instantly fell in love. I can tell that I will be happy with this setup for a long time, along with the support from the guys I ordered it from. For that, I'm super appreciative! For anyone considering ordering equipment, or getting training. Look no further, Aviator PPG is the way to go! Thank you!
What an incredible experience with Aviator Paramotor! My introductory flight was breathtaking. Bob Farewell and Scot were incredibly nice and helpful, and did a wonderful job of answering all my questions !! Their passion for flying is contagious. Their wealth of knowledge and experience is impressive. I highly recommend Aviator Paramotor and flying. As corny as it may sound, the truth is- after this first flight, my life will never be the same !
I went to Aviator PPG in June, 2020. To be honest I sucked, my kiting was terrible, lots of aborts and broken props. Nevertheless they kept pushing me to be better. The following month I returned for some additional instruction and within two days I was in the air for good! I know there are many stories of those who struggled but Aviator really wants their students to succeed. Six months later I am flying several times a week and can think of nothing else, my week revolves around when I'm going to fly next. Thanks Aviator!

Professional friendly team who care about their sport and students. Great site, equipment and attitude. People should be banging on the doors of this place for the opportunity to get this caliber of training. Or, maybe there just just waiting till their next life to be able to fly like the birds....
