A private flight with a pilot who is a private person, not an airline. Everyone on board, me included, shares what the aircraft costs.
The Cirrus for distance and for four of us. The Bristell for a short hop over Bohemia when there are only two.
Alps, the Adriatic, Venice. Whole-airframe parachute, de-icing, oxygen on board.
Brand new, glass cockpit, its own rescue parachute. Lighter and simpler, made for a short hop with two on board.
One seat is mine, so the Cirrus takes three of you and the Bristell one. Figures are the operator's, confirmed per flight.
A castle on a volcanic cone, a lake full of sails, sandstone rocks. The easiest way to find out whether you like small aircraft.
Český Krumlov, Karlštejn, Hluboká, Lipno, Šumava, Orlík and Zvíkov. Most of what people come to Czechia for, in one go.
The Giant Mountains ridge, Sněžka and the glacial cirques below it. Best in autumn, when the inversion sits in the valleys.
Hallstatt, Schafberg, the Dachstein glacier, Grossglockner, Zell am See and Königssee. We land in Salzburg for lunch.
Over the Austrian and Slovenian Alps, down the Istrian coast and into Venice. Breakfast in Prague, dinner back home.
The same crossing of the Alps, then the Slovenian coast. Swim, eat, fly home. Croatia is a short hop further.

A concert, a river cruise, a castle, and then this. The whole thing fits into one day.
I collect you in the morning and drive you to the airfield. No taxi, no rental car, no trains.
We walk around the aircraft, I explain what will happen and when, and you ask whatever you want.
You sit up front next to me. I fly, you look out of the window, and we talk on the headset.
Same door you left from, with a view of Bohemia nobody else in your group has.
The Cirrus family, SR22 and SR22T. A new one is over a million dollars and it is about the most equipped single-engine aircraft you can sit in at that price.
CabinCloser to a car interior than to what people picture when they hear the words small aircraft.
Baggage doorA proper baggage compartment, which almost no small aircraft has. Bring a checked-bag-sized suitcase.
In flightDepending on weight and distance. On the longer routes fuel takes one of them.
On the apronI fly several Cirruses and which one we take depends on availability. For short hops a smaller two or four seater works too.
A rocket pulls a canopy out of the fuselage and the entire aeroplane comes down under it. Any passenger can deploy it, even if the pilot cannot.
Before we go I walk you through what happens and when. Most of the nerves are gone within the first ten minutes.
I have had people who did not want to fly at all get in because of that parachute.
These are my own private flights. Leave me your contact and I will let you know when I am going somewhere and you could join. The costs are shared between everyone on board, me included.
Both entries above are samples. The dates are not confirmed yet.
No newsletter, no schedule. A message only when I am actually flying somewhere.

Neither. These are cost-shared private flights, so I am not a carrier and I do not sell transport. I fly as a private person, not as a company, and the costs of each flight are shared by everyone on board, me included. It is not an experience flight and there are no tickets.
The Cirrus carries a parachute for the whole airframe and passengers can deploy it themselves. Before we go I brief you on what happens and when.
Three to four, depending on weight and distance. On the longer routes the limit drops because of fuel.
We move the date. I only go up when it is safe, and that is my call rather than the calendar's.
In good weather and by arrangement, yes, for part of the flight and with my hand next to yours. You do not need to know anything.
Prague, sometimes Příbram or Vodochody. If you are staying in the city I pick you up at your hotel and bring you back the same evening.
