The lack of understanding and interest among the younger generation in aerospace sports presents a challenge in developing aviation potential in Papua, especially in Jayapura City. This community service activity aimed to educate and promote paramotor as an innovative and inspiring air sport. The target participants were 50 prospective Physical Education teachers from the Undergraduate Program in Physical Education, Health, and Recreation at Cenderawasih University. Methods included interactive lectures, educational videos, and live paramotor demonstrations. The results showed a significant increase in participants’ understanding and interest in paramotor as an alternative physical activity and potential future profession. Paramotor education is essential for broadening sports perspectives while fostering courage, innovation, and patriotism among youth.
