Comparison of pilot licences

Choose the ultralight pilot licence if you want to fly mainly for your personal use and at the lowest possible cost.

A great choice for those who want to start flying modern UL aircraft at very low prices, especially for their personal use and fun.

We provide training on the modern UL aircraft of today.

After the training, you can rent any other type of ultralight aircraft without any problems.

Today’s UL airplanes are no longer made in a garage out of aluminium tubing and covered in canvas. Our school only flies factory-built aircraft from the world´s best manufacturers. Today’s UL aircraft surpass the General Aviation ones in many ways, especially in speed, cockpit equipment (screens, autopilots) while maintaining the same safety. Moreover, most UL aircraft are already equipped with a parachute rescue system for the worst situations.

One can find the opinion that UL aircraft often “crash”. This is, of course, due to the great media publicity that such an event generates. But as you will soon discover in training, the problem is not with UL aircraft, but with the irresponsibility and perhaps poor training of their pilots.

In our school, we treat the training of a UL pilot in exactly the same way as we treat PPL(A) training because ultimately they have to be pilots of the same quality even if they fly cheaper aircraft.

The cheapest way to learn to fly and use the air for your private journeys and business trips across the country and Europe.

After completing UL aircraft pilot training, you are authorized to fly UL aircraft with restrictions outside of controlled airspace and only during daylight hours and ground visibility. The advantage over general aviation aircraft is that they can have a rescue parachute installed for the worst-case scenarios.

Ultralight aircraft are always single-engine and maximum of 2 seats with a take-off weight limitation of max. 600 kg. They can only be flown during the day and only non-commercial flights.

After completing the training you can make a rating for so-called VFR controlled flights, which entitles you to fly in controlled airspace (at larger airports such as Brno, Ostrava, Prague) or UL aircraft instructor and teach other people to fly. Our pilot course already includes the rating because we fly in controlled airspace.

The UL pilot license is a national qualification

This license is not automatically valid in other European countries. Some European countries require a permit to enter their airspace before flying (Switzerland). Flying into most other European countries is without major administrative restrictions (Slovakia, Germany, Croatia, Poland, Hungary, France, etc.).

The basic training curriculum involves flying 20 hours in the aircraft and 50 hours of theoretical instruction.
