Learning to Paratrike

The current situation within the UK Air Navigation Order is that you need to have a Pilot's Licence either (PPL(A) or NPPL(M) - 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) 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.

However, if you haven't got your NPPL (M) licence and you want to learn to fly a Paratrike, Mahony Aviation has instructors who are able to train you to fly a Paratrike and can put you in touch with examiners who can adjudicate your CAA theory exams and General Skills Test (GST).
