USPPA
Ratings, Instructor & Tandem Clinics
Earn a Pilot, Instructor, or USPPA Tandem Rating
There is more than meets the eye for paramotor instructing.
Ratings and Instructor clinics are periodically run by various USPPA
Instructors, Instructor Administrators and Tandem Instructor Administrators.
The program uses the USPPA Instructor syllabus. Those
interested in Instructor ratings should already be PPG3 pilots or be able to demonstrate PPG3
skills. You may do it all at the same time but it will take extra time.
Written testing can be done mostly in advance to help the process.
When we have no clinics scheduled, administrators can run them without posting here and frequently do,
especially for one-on-one training.
If you are a paramotor instructor through another program, you may get
credit for that experience, at least in part, through
USPPA Grandfathering. One aspect
you'll be glad to see is that USPPA currently has no charge for access to
its ratings program, including the tandem exemption. We see it as a way to encourage thorough training and
an investment in the secure future of our access to flight.
The USPPA provides a syllabus for PPG3 pilots who are interested in
becoming instructors.

Over the years a lot has been learned about
