AVIATION

What flying teaches me.

I fly single-engine aircraft for the love of it. In the cockpit, preparation, clear communication, and honest decisions stop being abstractions.

Sport Aviation course
Organizer and lecturer of an interdisciplinary Sport Aviation course at Tomas Bata University in Zlín: principles of flight, cockpit communication, navigation, and the wider context of general aviation in Czechia and Europe.
From the cockpit
The habits flying rewards — thorough preparation, plain communication, and knowing the limits — are the same ones I bring to building and running software.

FEATURED PROJECT

FlyTheScan

IFR theory, briefed for the cockpit.

An audio briefing companion for the EASA Basic Instrument Rating — instrument-flight theory for general-aviation pilots, trimmed into short, headset-ready segments instead of long ground-school lectures. Built where real cockpit experience meets AI.

Visit flythescan.eu ↗
Audio-first, made for the drive, the apron, or the climb-out
Focused on the EASA BIR / IFR syllabus for light GA
A briefing companion — not a certified course
FLY WITH ME

Wanna fly with me?

Curious what general aviation feels like from the cockpit? I'm happy to take you up for a sightseeing flight — no experience needed, just a head for heights and a sense of adventure. Drop me a line and we'll find good weather and a free weekend.

B a b d e S A D c
A derivation tree. Its leaves, left to right, spell the generated word. Reading the highlighted root-to-leaf path top-down gives word(p) = S·A·D·c. These grammars require such a path — or a cut (a frontier of nodes, below) — to belong to a separate control language, while every production stays context-free.
