1 September, 2025, by Cross Country | Photos: Tracy Anderson / FAIItaly’s Andrea Cecchetto is the new FAI Paramotor World Champion after a week-long competition in Chambley, France. Nico Aubert (FRA) won silver with 2022 world champion Pasquale Biondo winning bronze.
Eighty-one pilots from 14 countries battled it out for medals in three classes: solo footlaunch (PF1); solo trikes (PL1); and tandem trikes (PL2).
Afterwards Andrea posted on social media, “Wow, what a week! … After many tasks in the FAI World Paramotor Championship I’ve managed to find myself on the highest step of the podium.” At only 21 he is the youngest pilot ever to be paramotor world champion.
Andrea thanked his family, friends and supporters MiniPlane and Dudek. He was flying a Top80 and Dudek Warp 3 (size 18).
In the team competition, France were clear winners with a huge total score of 43,481 points over the whole competition. Qatar in silver scored 28,073 and Czech Republic in bronze scored 26,650.
In the tandem trike class, father-daughter team Fabrice and Oriane Breuzard won gold.
The competition saw a total of 10 tasks and featured classic competition tasks such as economy flying (fly as far as you can out-and-return on limited fuel), precision landing and the loads-of-fun bowling landing.
