UKPPG Prides Ourselves on the Highest Standards and Levels of  PPG Training in the UK.

All of our UKPPG PPG and PPG Trike Training Courses are open ended NOT Limited to a certain number of Days or time periods, offering you to Learn at your own Speed and Convenience.

UKPPG unlike many other training centres, offers ALL of the equipment that you will need to learn to fly safely,
Saving you money until you are sure that you will like the sport.

Our Comprehensive Training Course cover a very thorough Wing Control Process and Full Understanding of your equipment, Full Paramotor and Engine Training and all of our students train on our SUPPLIED New Quality Equipment, right through to Helmets Intercoms and Gloves, All we ask you to supply is your Boots. All of our students unlike other PPG Training Schools stay with us until you have completed a minimum of 40-60 Flight.

Within these flights you will learn everything you require to go and fly on your own being fully legal, safe, competent and knowledgeable.

UKPPG also boast a unique PPG Flight Simulator that allows beginners to  understand and master, all of the in-flight experiences, which you would normally only find out about when you take your first flight. on the Paramotor.

The UKPPG Simulator allows Students and experienced pilots alike, to practice (Under Power, Engine Running) taking off, all of the skills required in-flight, like throttle control, entry and exiting the harness, trimmer setting, brake controls and landing and this is all part of our training syllabus and all whilst still in the comfort zone of being on the floor.

We also use the simulator to professionally set up paramotor angles and harnesses. 

We train on our own, specially designed and manufactured BUG 12m Training Wings (Pictured Below) which enable you to train in higher wind speeds when full size paragliders are deemed to be unsafe to use, this opens up a much larger training envelope of days which would normally be unsuitable to train in, we also have a full range of full size paragliders for when you have become a more competent trainee or for lighter wind conditions.

Training and Flying is available all year round, 7 Days a Week (Subject to Weather) and set in the heart of the Fenland countryside we offer miles of flat scenic countryside and coastal cross countries expaditions to explore
when you are up and flying as a competent Pilot.

Our UKPPG Flying site has all the facilities rarely found on other sites Boasting a superb 9 acre, flat grassland,
flying field (1000ft x 330ft) complete with Mens, Women's and Disabled Toilets, fresh mains water and tea and coffee facilities for use by our Members or Guests in our Training / Clubroom.

developing the site to make it better for our students and UKPPG Members.

We have heavily invested in NEW onsite facilities including a new

Family Area, Parking and Camping Area and maintanance equipment.

We also have also re-newed and increased our 2012 stock of training and
flying Equipment and this is also available now for Hire so if you are out
and about and fancy a fly but left your equipment at home then just give
us a call and hire for the day.
