ACTION Bookmark 2026
Regular training on flying safety with the option of having a change of gear, a rescue parachute after a practice jump.

Jubilee LA 25th annual Bookmark Event on March 21.3, 2026 starts at 8:30 AM. in Prague Karlín (ZŠ Lyčkovo nám.) It is the oldest action of its kind in the Czech Republic, the first (zero) year was held together with a seminar for technical inspectors in 2000 in Hostivice near Prague.

We recommend that if you have already had practice throws of the ZP in previous years:
unpack your ZP at home a week in advance, spread it out or hang it from the ceiling and shake/air it out by hand twice a day – do not separate from the seat, place in a large plastic bag on Saturday morning and take it for inspection/repackaging. ZA rescue parachute will gain better properties simply by unpacking and packing it, because it is always packed a little differently, the rubber bands are checked, etc. In the above-described way, you will benefit your rescue parachute even more. (the described procedure is recommended by the vast majority of current ZP manufacturers, especially in the case of long-term storage in a packed state - statistics say that current pilots repack once a year, most often before the season).

PROGRAM:

  • 8:00 am building opening
  • 8:30 introduction and start of assisted throwing of the disabled person in motion in suspension
  • storage of ZP and seats in bags for packers (a label with your name and phone number where the packer will send an SMS/call when it is ready).

    The “queue of bags” is gradually being packed by certified packers and inspector technicians (Peter Garbier, Jiří Dlask, Michal Šnajberg, Tomáš Miřejovský, Mirek Volný, Miroslav Fejt, Miroslav Huml and Zdeněk Andrlík).
