Powered parachuting in Europe is in its infancy, however in the USA this industry has grown rapidly and is now a major part of the aviation industry. This is because it is one of the safest light aircraft that is flying today- even in the unlikely event of an engine failure, you have a parachute already deployed, and one its best attributes is that your not enclosed inside a cabin.

Why not try an introductary flight and experience the freedom of flying over the fields and plains of Seville. We offer short, medium or long flights all based on your requirments. To book please contact us through our mail form and we will aim to reply as soon as possible.

The course starts with you flying as a passenger and your instructor flying as the pilot. This will enable you to be taught the basic flying principles in a safe and relaxed environment. The next stage will be with you as pilot in command while your instructor takes the passenger seat, there is no need to worry here as they can still take control from the back seat should they need to. Once you have become proficient as pilot in command it will be time for your first solo flight. After completing at least 4 hours solo flight and 25 landings, and you have shown good flying skills we will put you through a general flying test, which qualifies you as a solo pilot without further supervision.

 

Your instructors are USA BFI (Basic Flight Instructor) and have been flying powered parachutes since the middle of 1998. Most of the machines and people you will be working with have been used in major fim productions such as 007 - The World is not Enough and Tomb Raider to name but a few.

The Blue Heron Marathon is the company's signature design and is recognized for style, luxury, and air worthiness. Custom, beautifully upholstered separate pilot and passenger seats with 3-point harness systems makes for pleasurable cross-country trips, without having to be too close to your flight companion. Contoured steering tubes allow versatility in leg positioning during flight, and the lower center of gravity tubes are curved to give the pilot more leg room and comfort during the long excursions; and the more comfortable the pilot is, the more enjoyable and more safe the ride is.
