Paragliding tuition in the Czech republic is regulated by the LAA CR PL3 prescription. This prescription also defines the duty of instructors to record the evidence of specified lessons in so called Personal certificate.
This document is the record of your theoretical and practical preparation and also the proof of passed examinations. In El Speedo the examinations by LAA CR Paragliding operations inspector is a part of the Basic Course and there is no extra fee for it.
The Personal certificate is valid 90 days following the final practical examination. We recommend applying for the Pilot license as soon as possible to avoid the troubles of exceeding this deadline.
Prolongation of Personal certificate
If you, for whatever reason, missed the 90 day limit for applying for the Pilot license and want to do so now, you have to pass a new examination which will be recorded in your Personal certificate.
Practically, you have two options:
– Come to fly with us at least for one day during any Basic course. New theoretical and practical examination and prolongation of Personal certificate will cost you CZK 1000.
– Take part in any El Speedo course or flying trip in the Czech Republic or abroad and the examinations and prolongation will be included in the cost of the product.
Issuing a new Personal certificate
If you lose or damage your Personal certificate during the 90 day period and need to issue a new one with all the records, we can solve the situation too. This will cost you CZK 500.
Common sense in flying after a long break
When your Personal certificate is over 9 moths expired, meaning that you haven’t trained with a paraglider for more then 9 months since finishing the Basic course, it is good to admit that repeating at least a part of the course would be a good idea.
There you have a special offer on any of our Basic courses, Aftercourses or similar events. If you have your own equipment, you can also use free El Speedo flying under the supervision of an instructor. But if you feel that you need a full instructor service at the takeoff and landing area, we’d rather recommend you the possibility of our daily tuition for 1500 CZK/day (including equipment).
