15. – 16. 5. 2021 SAFETY MOTO PARASEM

Who is this event suitable for?

We want to mix free and powered flying, we also want to invite the general public. There is a limited number of vacancies for the event, so it is necessary to book in advance. If the weather allows, we will also go for free flying during the event. It only depends on you which part of the program you choose.

What program can you look forward to?

  • Rescue parachute usage training on a zip-line simulator directly in Flight Park Javorový,
  • Rescue parachute packaging and proper installation in harnesses lessons,
  • Powered paragliding training methods,
  • How to operate the engine safely,
  • Rescue systems for paragliding and hang gliding,
  • Safe piloting techniques during a normal flight.

PRICE for lectures, simulator training and repacking: free

We will hang up the opened reserve parachutes for you overnight and we will also gradually pack them in the morning and install them in your containers and harnesses.

Anti-pandemic measures

We assume that some anti-pandemic measures will still be in force and so we will divide the registered pilots according to the current rules, which will be located in several locations: 2 classrooms with data projectors, online streaming, as we know from past anti-pandemic PARASEMs.

We are preparing the program for 4 × 10 pilots, so whoever registers earlier will reserve a place for that. So if you want to have the equipment ready and professionally inspected before the season, take the chance.

 

24. – 25. 7. 2021 XC MOTO PARASEM

Following the rivers to their springs – this is the motif of the El Speedo powered paragliding XC program. And you can join us…

We have prepared two two-day routes for you so that we don’t have to rush against the wind on the current day.

Arrival on Friday evening or Saturday morning, we will describe the prepared route, navigation points, pack everything in an El Speedo car with an engine cart and move to the starting point. The car drives along the route and solves possible technical problems, the goal of the first day in the camp by the water. Chill out, barbecue, beer, overnight stay and in the morning again in the air to manage to fly as close as possible to the source of the river and return to Flight Park Javorový.

It’s upstream, but we’re flying above it. Tthe wind will help us and we’ll see a piece of interesting human creations and natural beauties. We will take photos and film that all and the result will be a short film about how to experience a small powered paragliding adventure just in our neighbourhood. So if you’re already bored by flying around your chimney, don’t hesitate and fly with us. The driver, technician and the cameraman – Michal Krause, flying guide Martin Orlík (Míša Machartová, Pavel Březina) plus another max. 7 pilots. For those who apply first, we hold the place. Those without seats don’t go. 🙂 So the others have to follow us on their own…

We look forward to you
The Speedo team

In the demanding conditions of the current state of emergency, we managed to help the pilots in this year’s first SAFETY PARASEM in checking their rescue systems and repacking their reserve parachutes. We did everything necessary in a calm atmosphere and I would like to thank everyone once again for their cooperation and adherence to the agreed rules.

Thanks and I wish you a lot of strength in the coming days.

We have another season ahead of us and I would like to ask you to consider supporting the flying terrains: Javorový – west, Prašivá – west and Prašivá – south. Ten years of each of these take-offs cost CZK 350 – 400 thousand. Do you want to support these places and help with rentals?

Send the pilot’s annual contribution to these 3 flying terrains – CZK 500 to the account: 670100-2209122227 / 6210. We will use the funds obtained in this way not only for rentals and fees for the take offs, but we are also preparing other projects supporting the development of paragliding.  We inform you about them on the El Speedo website.

This year we have an interesting alternative: send a contribution of 1000 CZK to the above account and to get a good feeling from the support of places for flying, you will also get El Speedo CHAN TENGRI – Summer leather gloves worth CZK 990 and that’s fine, right?  They will be ready at this year’s PARASEMS to try the right size and quickly pick them up or we will send them to you by post.

Thanks so much for your interest and see you soon…

The post PARASEM 20 – 21 February 2021 in Beskydy – restrictions appeared first on El Speedo.

]]>

Hello Pilots,

we have a situation here in which various restrictions are imposed by the state. So we are adjusting the February SAFETY PARASEM in the Beskydy Mountains to the current real possibilities. Lectures and training will be provided only for instructors, assistants and pilots in charge of repacking reserve parachutes – ie for pilots who are professionally connected with this activity. For the registered pilots we will be happy to disassemble and hang up the whole rescue system, repack it and install it back in the harness the next day.

The weather should be sunny, probably a little windier, southwestern directions – it seems like an interesting morning hike & fly at Prašivá or Skalka (depending on the strength and direction of the wind).  After this refreshment, bring your harness with the reserve parachute to Flight Park Javorový and we will take care of it. If you only want to bring a reserve parachute, you are deprived of the inspection and installation of the parachute in the harness. It’s up to you.

We will be receiving harnesses and reserve parachutes from 10:00 to 17:00 so that you have time to walk or fly through the Beskydy Mountains.  Due to the ban on gathering, we will not run our outdoor zip line trainer for the reserve parachute usage practice.

Lectures for professional pilots will focus on:

  • correct repacking of various reserve parachute types,
  • correct installation of RP in various harnesses,
  •  detailed analysis of pilot errors and behavior on various types of paragliders at last year’s SIV courses,
  • ways of pilot navigation and practical training analysis for beginning instructors.

On Sunday, we will practice reserve parachute packing in real. Due to the limited number of pilots, we should have everything done before lunch and you will be able to go in the mountains again.

If the situation allows, we will transmit the content of the lectures online in the same way as in previous PARASEMS. You will find current information and stream link here on Friday.

Thanks for your understanding and take care.
Your El Speedo team

The post El Speedo PARASEM appeared first on El Speedo.

]]>

Quick info:
Events full of interesting lectures, entertainment, meetings with pilots, usage training and packing reserve parachutes and various crazy activities, about which you will learn only in person on the spot. So it’s really good to be there. Because rescue parachute repacking takes time, we use it effectively for paragliding education in the form of presentations, lectures and workshops. For PG instructors, participation in lectures is an opportunity to extend the two-year validity of their instructor license.

What kind of event:
It is a series of paragliding seminars organised by El Speedo – flying community for pilots, instructors and the general public. These are several practical trainings and lectures that are designed to revive or gain information about paragliding and life around it. Experienced instructors, test pilots, LAA CR officials, rescue service technicians, members of the Mountain Rescue Service of the Czech Republic and meteorologists take part in this event as lecturers.

Terrains
The event activities usually take place in Flight Park Javorový. You can listen to lectures in lecture tents or in our training room, and we use our zip-line simulator installed near Flight Park Javorový to practice reserve parachute toss. If you want to fly during the events, the options will be Javorový (480 m elevation gain, starts oriented to the W – NW, N – E) or to the nearby Prašivá (300 m elevation gain, starts oriented to the SW, SW-W).

Conditions of participation:
Pilots, those interested in flying and the general public can participate.

Difficulty:
Low and medium physical demands.

Duration of the event:
1-3 days (according to the program for each event).

Time schedule of events:
Each event has its individual timetable focused on the above topic. We will inform you about a specific program and the current time schedule via an article on the El Speedo website.

Sometimes You just feel like sitting in the grass, waiting and letting the time pass. And as the Sun is setting, the Sky colours are getting different shades and the sun rays draw long shades, the views from our Javorový west take off get a new dimension. It is a stunning view.

What about flying these moments? When there is a nice breeze, our gliders surf the wave of the soft air and we are about to reach nirvana.

Do you want to experience that? Look out for the evening hours forecast and wait for the right moment at the Javorový or Prašivá west take-offs which we maintain for your training in our Beskydy Flying School.

Aren’t You able to fly on your own yet? Just book your place in the Elementary course in our School. The evening ridge-soaring is a favourite part of our training.

And if you wanted to present someone with an exceptional flying experience, just come, call or e-mail into our office and get the gift package or a voucher of a tandem flight and arrange flying for your loved one with one of our instructors.

The post A piece of work done, thanks for your help! appeared first on El Speedo.

]]>

We offered the possibility of staying at Flight Park Javorový for help with maintenance and finishing. And it worked.

We have newly painted guest rooms, all toilets and bathrooms, larch barriers installed on the walls, a finished and also improved upstairs kitchen with dining room, a redesigned El Speedo bar with a new coffee machine installed and programmed – and it calls for a try! El Speedo office repaired and most importantly also the classroom. Wood finish is newly sanded and waxed. We worked on the outdoor BudkaBar, we managed to rake piles of leaves, we hibernated the gravity water heating and we also had some fun and well-being, there was flying too, everything just as it should be.

I would like to thank everyone who went into it, as well as our instructors and assistants, because we also have a wonderfully cut, cleaned and tuned Javorový western take off with newly painted information boards. Such a November, in which we were able to meet our needs, is very nice. And with a clear conscience we can prepare for the celebration of the end of the year.

Come and visit us, stay privately or for work, or if you want to help organise an event, get in touch.

And what will we continue with?

So, by the end of the year we will install hanging larch cabinets in the rooms, improve the appearance of washbasins with beech wood, work on a new version of the utility program for the building and the entire Flight Park Javorový complex, complete a new version of the self-service bar program, start working on self-learning algorithms we want by the end of 2021 to integrate into the new version of building control, and many other details such as the completion of outdoor showers, stone walkways to the stage, the deployment of shrubs on the roof, etc. We just do not stop!

But what is really a challenge for the spring of 2021 – is the connection of fish farming to the hydroponic farm, which we tuned this year. This will be an action! So watch what’s next and if you want to join, get in touch.

Thanks again and see you soon

The post XContest and El Speedo paragliders appeared first on El Speedo.

We had been receiving more and more questions about the possibility of registering flights on El Speedo paragliders in XContest – a worldwide cross country flying competition. And so we started to solve it and the result is the addition of El Speedo paragliders to the XContest database.

El Speedo paragliders have been designed by Alexei Rakov for several years and the production takes place in the Sky Country company. The paragliders are certified by the Swiss company Air Turquoise SA under their Sky Country names. However, El Speedo paragliders have their own names for the Czech market (Bobby, Freddie, Jimmy, Ozzy, Janis, Olivier, …). If you have already entered your flying performance on the EL Speedo paraglider under its certification name, you can change it to the El Speedo name retrospectively.

In the menu My flights (in ČPP or in the World) in the column “action” just click on “edit flight” and there select your paraglider and then confirm with the button “send” and that’s it.

Let it thrive not only in the air

The post El Speedo thermal paragliding training in season 2020? appeared first on El Speedo.

]]>

Hello Pilots,

we currently have foreign paragliding events suspended until the time when movement across borders is truly unrestricted. However, we have been flying thermally in the Beskydy Mountains for some time, so we would like to offer you an alternative training program in the form of thermal courses right here in the Beskydy Mountains.

Benefits are:

  • easy travel without the use of borders and other complications with controls and possible quarantines,
  • quality training and teaching in Flight Park Javorový,
  • pleasant accommodation in rooms or tents in Flight Park Javorový, quietly with the family,
  • organization of events precisely tailored to the current weather,
  • in the course we will get acquainted with other terrains in the Beskydy,
  • we have the opportunity to quickly move to other terrains in the Czech Republic.

The events will be on the same dates as this year’s Thermal Courses Abroad (Wednesday-Sunday, Saturday-Wednesday). In case of worse weather, we will negotiate operatively, as you are used to with us. The price for the course is the same, accommodation is cheaper and more comfortable, lower hills, but the training potential is still interesting.

Register in the same way as you would go to Thermal Training abroad until the borders are easily clear, count on the program and security in the Beskydy Mountains.

You can look forward to thermal flying lessons, daily weather analysis, training and development of your pilot knowledge and skills, in case of a windy day also a slope and practice of cross starts and evening fire – that is clear.

More info at Marcela on 777 311 661, she knows everything: o)))

Thanks and see you soon…
