XC Adventure Training
Gather your camping gear, strap a motor on your back, launch, fly, land and sleep the night under the stars. The next day return home or maybe you continue on for a deeper adventure. Maybe you’re flying across the County, the State or even to another country.
You’re only limited by your imagination; possibly some skills and XC motoring knowledge.
Team Fly Halo XC Adventure Trainings will help you make these adventure dreams become a reality with a three level (module) program, taking you from a novice ambitious pilot to an advanced and skilled XC master.

Module 3
Upcoming dates TBD
For those pilots that have completed Modules 1 & 2 or already have the required skills, Module 3 is here to provide you with a truly unique XC experience.
This module is a practical, supported 7 day XC Adventure. Each participant will plan at least one stage of the route; refueling options, camping, comms, full pre and post flight briefings and of course, leading the entire group on a fun and successful XC. Each pilot will bring their own equipment required for camping excluding cooking requirements. Team Fly Halo will support the Adventure with transport (when needed), food, beverages, instruction and spare parts.
Water Landing Module
If you are a pilot that frequently flies around water get a taste of what landing in the water and saving yourself will feel like. We start with practical harness extraction while in the water with your paramotor after jumping off of a dock or boat with full support. Once you master this task you will purposefully fly with one of our modified Scout Paramotors straight into the lake where you will extract yourself from the harness/lines and swim to shore with full team boat support and scuba diver.
