Where Dreams of
Flight Come True
The Powered Parachute has fulfilled the dream of flight for thousands of people since 1983. No other aircraft offers as much stability and safety. If you can ride a bicycle or drive a car, you can fly a powered parachute! A powered parachute is the safest form of flying aerodynamically and has the shortest learning curve of any other aircraft. This makes it the least expensive way earn your wings and take to the skies. In as little as 12 to 15 hours of flight time you can become a sport pilot with a powered parachute endorsement. Visit "What is a PPC" for information about exactly how they fly.
The first step is to gather information about the sport to make an informed decision. This website promotes the training, education and safety of recreational powered flight. To learn more about powered parachutes, simply navigate our website menu to any topic of interest.

**CAUTION**
Flying a
Powered Parachute
is fun, addictive and spread by causal contact!
Florida's sub-tropical climate allows year-round flight training. Florida is the perfect location to earn your sport pilot wings in a powered parachute. Our training field is Dunnellon Airport, about 7 miles SW of Ocala on Highway 464. The surrounding terrain is open prairies and farm land, providing a safe and scenic environment for training. The adjacent map will zoom in for a better look.
Today, people lead busy lives and schedules. Work and family obligations make traveling to the nearest flight instructor impossible. To fill this need we offer our accelerated flight training program at your home playing field. This is a 14 days course that will take you from zero to sport pilot in two weeks or less. Due to winter weather conditions in some parts of the country, flying season ends in the fall and resumes in the spring.
