• Theory
  Theoretical pre-flight preparation takes place in our new classroom at Sazená airport.
  
  Theoretical part comprises 50 lessons and is in the form of lectures and consultations, the second part of the theoretical preparation is in the form of selfstudying and consultations.

  The syllabus of the theoretical part includes:
  Air Law, Aircraft General, Flight Performance and Planning, Human Performance and Limitation, Meteorology, Navigation&Radio Aids, Operational Procedures, Principles of Flight and Communication.

   

• Practice
  A minimum of 45 hours of flight time is required according to the approved syllabus.
  A holder of a valid ULLa , Glider and Helicopter pilot licence is allowed to count in 10% of his/her flown hours of flight time as pilot in command (6 hours at the most) into the total number of hours of flight time to receive a PPL licence.
