In the UK, you do not require a license to fly a Paramotor as they are deregulated under the Air Navigation Order. However you must still obey the Air Law regulations in order to remain legal, all of which is covered during your SkySchool Paramotor course.

Someone with good skills, or previous aviation experience, may only need 5 days on the Paraglider and then 2 days with the Paramotor to get to the BHPA Club Pilot Power rating. So this could cost from £900, up to about £1500 for the full "BHPA Power Pilot Rating" which gets you up to dross country flying standard.

The world altitude record is approximately 25,000ft. The majority of your flying is going to be below 1000ft. The “500ft Rule” allows pilots to fly below 500ft as long as they are no closer than 500ft to any person, vessel, vehicle, building or structure.

If you are buying new gear, you can expect to spend $8,000-12,000 for your paramotor and wing. Used gear can be found cheaper, but requires careful shopping to ensure it is reliable and safe. Training ranges from $1,500-3,500 depending on the quality of instruction and is a worthwhile investment.
