Question 1

Is it safe?

Accepted Answer

Paramotoring is one of the safest forms of aviation. We use high-stability wings and maintain strict protocols. Our personalized ratio ensures constant supervision.

Question 2

Do I need experience?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely not. Our initiation programs are designed to take you from zero to total confidence at your own pace.

Question 3

What happens if the engine stops?

Accepted Answer

A paramotor is a glider first. If the engine stops, the wing continues to fly and you glide down to a safe, controlled landing. We train you specifically for this.

Question 4

Can I fly if I am afraid of heights?

Accepted Answer

Many of our students start with vertigo. Paradoxically, flying in a paramotor often feels like looking at a map; the lack of connection to the ground dissolves the traditional sensation of vertigo.

Question 5

What is the best time to fly?

Accepted Answer

In Malaga, we usually fly in the mornings when the air is calm and the "sea breeze" has not yet kicked in. It is the smoothest experience.

Question 6

Do you train in groups or one-on-one?

Accepted Answer

We train a maximum of 1-2 students per session, and often have 2 instructors for a single student. This ultra-personalized ratio means constant supervision, faster progress, and a pace that adapts to you instead of a group.

Question 7

Can I learn to fly a paramotor in English?

Accepted Answer

Yes. English is our primary language of instruction. We also teach in Spanish and French, so you can learn comfortably in the language you feel most confident in.

Question 8

Why learn to fly in Málaga instead of my home country?

Accepted Answer

Málaga's Costa del Sol has over 300 flyable days a year thanks to a stable coastal micro-climate. That means your training days actually happen, instead of losing weeks waiting for a weather window like is common in northern Europe or the UK.

Question 9

How is Malaga Beach Flying different from other paramotor schools?

Accepted Answer

We never train in large groups — sessions are 1-on-1 or close to it. We follow a fly-from-day-one philosophy instead of long ground theory, teach in English, and we are based here year-round rather than visiting for just a few weeks a year.

Question 10

Is it possible to complete paramotor training in one week?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our OpenPilot Initiation is a structured 5-day program that gives you a complete foundation — covering theory, ground handling, and real in-air instruction with your instructor.

Question 11

Do you offer paramotor training for complete beginners?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Both Private Training Days and the OpenPilot Initiation are designed to work for zero prior experience — you don't need to have flown anything before.

Question 12

What equipment is included in the training?

Accepted Answer

Everything is provided: wings, motors, helmets, radios, harnesses, and fuel. Students train on the Paramotor Agility HE 125cc, chosen specifically because it is lighter and more agile for learning.

Question 13

Where exactly is Malaga Beach Flying located?

Accepted Answer

We are based at Playa de Benajarafe, 29790 Benajarafe, Málaga, Spain — on the Costa del Sol coast, easy to reach from Málaga airport.

Question 14

Do you offer paratrike training and tandem paratrike flights?

Accepted Answer

Yes. In addition to standard paramotor training, we offer paratrike instruction and tandem paratrike flights — a three-wheeled motorized paraglider that many students find more accessible and stable as a first step into powered flight.
