Powered Parachute Flight Training School in Apple Valley, CA

Your Premier Powered Parachute Flight Training Center & Dealer for Powrachute Light Sport Aircraft & Apco Cruiser Wings

People ask “how safe are these powered parachutes?” They are the most forgiving aircraft you can fly. You are flying under a parachute, so your recovery system is already deployed. If the engine quits, you still have full directional control and you land. As a safe pilot who has been flying these since 1992, I am always looking for good spots for a landing should this occur. The pendulum design of powered parachutes prevents you from getting into a position that could cause you to stall, and fall out of the sky. The pendulum system design is what makes a powered parachute so stable and forgiving. This is as close to flying with the birds as you can get in aviation today!

Unparalleled CFI Instructor Experience & Expertise


Phil Dietro, President of Inland Paraflite, Inc. is an FAA Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) with a Sport pilot rating for Powered Parachute Land, (PPCL) or what we refer to as a Powered Parachute. He is also an FAA DPE (Designated Pilot Examiner) and an SFIE (Sport Flight Instructor Examiner) for powered parachute land. To receive these ratings, you must be a CFI with a lot of training experience, and must be selected to attend the 1 week long training seminar held at the FAA’s Light Sport Branch in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Here you are evaluated by FAA inspectors, trained in the duties of an examiner, and must pass a practical test & check ride with an FAA inspector. Phil has been flying Powered Parachutes since 1992, that’s over 32 year’s experience.

Flight Training, from Discovery flights to full Sport Pilot training to earn your FAA pilot certificate, or license

We highly recommend that you go for a discovery flight prior to making any decision on purchasing a powered parachute aircraft, and once you decide to purchase you can start your training while your new Powrachute Aircraft is being built. You will train in our Airwolf. This will make you a better informed buyer as to what you want in a Powered Parachute. A Discovery Flight is the best way to find out how much you like it before committing to our Sport Pilot training program.
