The largest trike school in the Czech Republic, teaching in English 20 minutes from Prague.

Flying for the pleasure of it

A powered trike is the closest thing to flying that most people will ever get. There is no cabin between you and the air — you sit in the open, the wing above you, the countryside going past underneath.

It is also the least expensive way to hold a pilot licence of your own. The training is shorter than for aeroplanes, the machines cost less to run, and the licence opens up the same countryside from a far better seat.

You do not need to be an athlete or an engineer. You need the willingness to learn and the time to give it.

What the licence is and what it lets you do

The trike licence entitles you to fly powered hang gliders — aircraft controlled by shifting your weight against the wing. It is the shortest and cheapest route to flying on your own.

The cheapest way into the air

A powered trike is among the least expensive routes to a licence of your own. The training is shorter than for aeroplanes and the machine costs less to run.

An experience an aeroplane cannot give you

You feel every gust of wind and the view is all but unobstructed. On a good day it is flying in a way no enclosed aircraft can match.

Safe and comfortable travel

Modern trikes carry a ballistic recovery parachute and comfortable seats. Travelling on one is both safe and genuinely pleasant.

How the training works, step by step

Five clear steps, and we walk you through every one of them.

  1. A first visit

    Come and see what flying a trike is like. We answer your questions about the training and go up together — you will know straight away whether it is what you hoped for.

  2. The theory

    We go through the required knowledge with you individually, in English, and you get the e-learning free. We teach you to understand things, not to memorise them.

  3. Medical examination

    A class 2, LAPL or sport-pilot medical certificate is required before flight training starts. It is not demanding — roughly comparable to a driving licence medical.

  4. Flight training

    You fly with an instructor and gradually take over. The syllabus requires 15 flying hours; how many you actually need is your instructor’s call, based on how the handling is coming along.

  5. The final test

    A theory paper and a practical test. It can be taken without Czech, and after training with us it is a formality.

A first lesson on a trike

The quickest way to understand what trike flying is like is to watch it. This is what a lesson at our airfield actually looks like.

What the licence costs

The syllabus requires a minimum of 15 flying hours with an instructor. Most students fly 25 to 40 — your instructor decides when you are ready, and part of the training is already solo.

Before your first solo you will need third-party liability insurance and a radiotelephony licence. We help you arrange both.

Air Creation Skypper Bush powered trike

Air Creation Skypper Bush

Built for short, unpaved strips: wide low-pressure tyres, hydraulic brakes and the iFun XL wing, so it gets in and out of places most aircraft cannot reach.

What our graduates say

A family-run school that treats every student individually. Arranging a flight was never a problem, whenever I needed one. Add instructors who took me all the way to passing my final tests, and a fair price on top — I can only recommend it.
Pavel S.Pardubice · graduated 2025
The best value for ultralight and trike training anywhere near Prague. Solid theory, solid practice, and no trouble arranging a flight on a weekday evening after work. If you want to start flying, go here.
Štěpán S.Central Bohemia · 2023
Nymburk is close to home, but the reason I stayed is the atmosphere at the airfield. The instructors give you their time, explain something three different ways until it clicks, and you never feel like just another slot in the calendar. I still fly here now that I have my licence.
