Learning to Paratrike

The current situation within the UK Air Navigation Order is that the pilot needs to have a Pilot's Licence (PPL (A), NPPL (M) or NPPL (P)) if you want to fly a Paratrike. We understand the frustration of pilots who think this is a little over the top in order to fly one of these simple machines but we can assure you that the BHPA and BMAA are rallying the CAA to get this changed.

However, if you haven't got your NPPL (M) or NPPL (P) licence and you want to learn to fly a Paratrike, Mahony Aviation has BMAA and CAA approved microlight instructors who are able to train you to fly a Paratrike, organise your independent General Skills Test (GST) & Navigation Exercise (Nav Ex) and the undertaking of your CAA written theory exams.
