To obtain a powered paragliding license the following is required:

• Basic License (see Basic Licence course);
• A Powered Paragliding Conversion course;
• A Restricted Aircraft Radio License (a course can be done with any flying school – example at George airport, for approx. R1100).

The PPG conversion course fee of R7 900 includes:

• Familiarisation with your paramotor;
• Running in of your new paramotor;
• Hang-check and simulation;
• Ground-handling with the paramotor (half a day maximum);
• A minimum of ten powered flights (including one cross country, and one remote out landing and re-launch);
• Theory of powered paragliding flight (several lectures);
• An open-book theoretical test (write this at home at your own leisure);
• Marking of the theory test; and
• Revisiting/discussion the questions you got wrong, to ensure you have a thorough understanding of these aspects.
• NB: You will need your own paramotor and wing for your conversion course.
