About training in Czechia

How pilot training is regulated

Czech pilot licences are issued by the national Civil Aviation Authority under the EU aircrew regulation (Regulation (EU) No 1178/2011), whose common rules EASA maintains. The authority's airplane-pilot page lists the LAPL(A), PPL(A), CPL(A) (integrated ATP and modular courses), ATPL(A), MPL and instrument qualification, with procedure documents and application forms for each. Approved training organisations (ATO) are listed by the authority. The CAA's pages retrieved for this review point to procedure PDFs for ages and hours rather than stating them on the page.

A regulatory minimum is a legal floor for the qualification. It is not the number of hours most students need, and not a guarantee of cost or completion time.
