Ultra light
categories of Aircraft
The
Amateur Aviate Association of the Czech Republic groups several thousand
pilots and owners of ultra light planes. Operating within the framework of
the association’s activities, schools of ultra light flying and
professional companies hiring out ultra light planes are prepared to offer
you their services. You can encounter them, for example, at the airports in
Benesov, Hradec Kralove and numerous other places.
Professional centers run good-quality, out-of-line
technical facilities that can offer space for your aircraft in their
hangars or arrange accommodation and other services. The Czech Republic
also serves as a venue for popular meetings of ultra light aircraft, often
combined with sports disciplines and always with friendly gatherings in a
pleasant aviate environment.
Gliding
and Motorized Gliding
One
of the leading organizers of sports flying in Europe, the Aero club of the
Czech Republic associates several thousand pilots of gliders and motorized
gliders and runs its own flying schools. There are also professional firms
operating in cooperation with the Aero club. They are prepared to rent a
plane to you or offer you basic training in flying as well as courses in
acrobatic or non-engine flying. The majority of sports airports operate observation
flights and offer out-of-line facilities for flying enthusiasts and space
in hangars for their planes. The important centers of motorized and
non-motorized flying include the airport in Moravska Trebova, at which the
Aviate Sports Center of the Aero club of the Czech Republic operates, and
airports in Vrchlabi, Benesov and Brno.
Balloon
Flying
Aviate
clubs as well as private operators offer unforgettable experiences to
those opting for a hot-air balloon observation flight. The most frequent
routes lead above Prague or above the renowned Karlstejn and Krivoklat
Castles or the Konopiste Chateau. Moreover, clients can arrange a flight
above other places abounding in scenic beauties and historical monuments.
Sky-diving
Sky-diving
is one of the aviate sports which are organized by the Aero club of the
Czech Republic. Like the pilots of aircraft, sky-diving enthusiasts too
have their own aviate schools and centers in the Czech Republic. They
provide professional out-of-line facilities as well as highly experienced
instructors, some of whom are world sky-diving champions.
They offer sports sky-diving schemes for holders of
licences and the possibility of tandem descents, including free-fall
flights for visitors without any previous sky-diving experience.
Sky-diving centers can be found, for example, at the airports in Pribram
and Kunovice near Uherske Hradiste.
Paragliding
and Hang-gliding
The
pilots of gliders and hang-gliders, grouped in the Amateur Aviate Association of the Czech Republic, have their take-off points and centres
in Czech mountains, for example, in the Krkonose Mountains or the Beskydy,
as well as on Rana Hill near Louny or Kozakov Hill. All of these places
boast a tradition of gliding that spans many years.
There are schools of paragliding at selected
take-off points whose experienced instructors will be glad to teach you
the art of paragliding or take you for a flight on a tandem paraglide.
Although paragliding and hang-gliding belong to “the adrenaline sports”,
the Czech centers guarantee safe operation.
