Fund for support of starting points
The PG Association supports the self-governing system of airfield care as the most effective and long-term sustainable way to manage, maintain and improve the conditions for flying on airfields in the Czech Republic.
The starting point support fund is used to provide financial assistance to associations when building a new starting point, expanding an existing one, or other opportunities that the situation at the given starting point requires. Support takes the form of a non-refundable or refundable loan.
Promotion fund
The aim of the support from the promotion fund is to improve the media image of paragliding so that an uninformed person learns about it in other sections than the black chronicle. The board of the Paragliding Association has therefore decided to support activities that help create a positive image of paragliding in the public eye. The presentation in the public media also has a direct effect on the amount of the state subsidy for paragliding representation.

* to use the API of these probes, it is necessary to request an API key (by e-mail to the address predsednictvo@svazpg.cz). The API key is valid for all probes supported by the PG Alliance.
Probes in the Windguru network
A unified API “forerunner” operated by the PG Association is now available for probes in the Windguru network. Therefore, if you choose a probe connected to the Windguru network, it is not necessary to implement the API - the support is already ready. We only need to know the probe ID and API password.
