How to read this page
Every fact comes from the school's own public page, linked beside it with the date we checked it. Where a school does not print a date for its prices, the prices are treated as current and the rate-date line says "Not listed by the school". Where a school does not say something, the page says "Not listed by the school". Prices change often and taxes, fees and gear are usually extra, so confirm with the school before you book.

FAA basics for powered parachutes
These points are in our own words; the linked source pages are the official word. Rules change, so confirm the details with the FAA and with the school before you train.
- Sport pilot with powered parachute privileges. The FAA's Powered Parachute Flying Handbook addendum says you must be at least 17 for a sport pilot certificate with a powered parachute privilege, complete the training and flight time in 14 CFR Part 61 subpart J, pass the FAA knowledge exam and pass the practical test. A private pilot can instead hold a powered parachute rating.Source: FAA Powered Parachute Flying Handbook addendum, FAA-H-8083-29 (dated Oct 20, 2025) ↗ · checked Oct 29, 2026
- Solo at 16, and the aircraft. The same addendum says you must be at least 16 to fly a powered parachute solo, and that a powered parachute flown as an aircraft must have an FAA N-number registration and an airworthiness certificate.Source: FAA Powered Parachute Flying Handbook addendum, FAA-H-8083-29 (dated Oct 20, 2025) ↗ · checked Oct 29, 2026
