The Light Aircraft Association of the Czech Republic is a civil association (since 2015 an association) authorized by the Ministry of Transport of the Czech Republic to carry out administrative activities in the field of sports flying devices (SFD).
It follows from the principle of the duality of our association that the activities of the Administration are under the permanent supervision of the members, or rather the Council of the LAA ČR elected by them, which leads to requirements for the effectiveness of the work, the performance of the Administration and the purposeful spending of funds for its activities. The basis of our association's activity is non-commercial, recreational and sport flying.
The Light Aircraft Association of the Czech Republic is the authorized organization for certification, issuance of pilot licenses and operation of sports flying devices - SFD in the Czech Republic.
SFD includes paragliders and motorized paragliders (paragliding and motorized paragliding), ultralight balloons, rogala or hang gliders (hanging), ultralight autogyrocraft, ultralight helicopters, ultralight aircraft controlled by a change in the center of gravity (so-called motorized rogala), aerodynamically controlled ultralight aircraft to take-off weight of 600 kg, professionally and amateur built (ELSA) and ultralight gliders. From this point of view, LAA CR is unique in Europe.
