Orientation to the eastern market = eastern
standards, classified production, limited contacts with
western countries
Sharing Russian aviation technology combined with
our previous experience
Restricted access to the global market
Czechoslovakia develops and produces all aircraft
components
In the 60’s, domestic design won eastern block
tenders for jet trainers and small turboprop
commuters
1948
Nationalization and change of political orientation

Sucess of Light Aviation after 1989
Key Factors
foundation of LAA ČR in 1990 gave legal
framework for all microlight activities
including manufacturing
creation of a certification system within
the LAA ČR, offering the acceptable
simplicity of certification while providing
safety to aircraft design, building and
operation.
23
Light Aircraft Association of the Czech Republic
is a competent authority for Certification,
Licencing and Operation of microlights in the
Czech Republic.
This covers paragliding, powered paragliding,
hang gliding, gyroplanes, helicopters, weight
shift, UL gliders, aerodynamically controlled
microlight and 600kg amateur built ELSA.
In this aspect it is unique in Europe
It has 7 000 members and registers 7 900 aircraft
and 10 000 pilots.
