The Talent PG program is intended for pilots who do not exceed the age of 25 in the current calendar year. (in 2023 pilots born in 1998 and later)
The pilots are divided into teams in the program according to their current performance.

- team B – independently active pilots
- team C - actively flying pilots
- team D – novice pilots after the course, beginners and less experienced pilots, recreational pilots (automatically after registration)

For talents
The current head of the program is Jiří Bečvář (phone: +420 727 807 801, E-mail: becvar.junior@seznam.cz ) – he is the person to whom it is appropriate to direct questions about the Talent program. It confirms talent applications for camps, and it is also necessary to resolve possible camp cancellations through it. Do not hesitate to contact him at any time.
For sponsors
The young pilots in the Talent PG program – the overwhelming majority still studying – do not lack enthusiasm and determination. But what they usually don't get are funds. If you decide to financially support a pilot from the Talent PG program, then in addition to the promotion that you agree with the pilot, the Association is ready to place your logo here in the "Talented Youth" section and list you as a sponsor of the program.
If your company supports one of the pilots in the ST PG program, please contact the web admin or the youth coach.
