Airborne expertise

"Per aspera ad astra. The sky is the limit."

I've been in aviation since I was born. My dad used to be a professional pilot, and he's basically been flying aeroclub all his life.
So I've always been close to flying machines. Thus, planes became my passion for entire life.

I hold licences

  • SPL (sailplanes)
  • PPL (private pilot)
  • CPL (commercial pilot)

I fly with

  • gliders (Blaník, Vosa,..)
  • and engine-powered aircraft
    (Zlins, Piper, Cessna,..)

If you want to give yourself or your loved ones a flight over Jindřichův Hradec, where I range most often, and see its beautiful surroundings, the castle in the city, Červená Lhota chateau or the ruins of Landštejn castle, just contact me. It's also possible to take a flight somewhere further, an hour or two of flight e.g. in southern Bohemia. Nor do I oppose longer trips in the Czech Republic or nearby abroad. An aircraft can fit up to three people. I'm also a tug pilot and official observer for gliders (I. class OO in Czechia).

And if you're a connoisseur, we can even enjoy a few hours of thermal flight in good weather conditions.
That's the proper "having your head in the clouds".

It's all about making an appointment and planning a beautiful flight day together.

You can follow and text me on a flying dedicated portal Wingly.io (profile Konyx) or Airborn.cz (profile Martin K.).

 


 

Maritime experiences

"The boat is safer anchored at the port,
but that's not the aim of boats." - Paul Coelho

The sailing with a glider around clouds and a sailboat on a sea is based on the same natural laws.
Therefore, it's no wonder that the wind blew me to the sailboats, too.

I hold the Croatian boat skipper licence B. At least once a year, my friends and I, some of whom are also captains, manage to go to Croatia on a sailboat we borrow from a local yacht charter.
How does it feel? What I'm going to say here, the video says more than a thousand words:


The Yacht is one of the best events of the year, always enjoyed by everyone who has sailed with us.

Care to join?

 


 

IT knowledge

"Fix the cause, not the symptom." - Steve Maguire

I enjoy the exploration of technologies and the learning of using them, it doesn't matter if they are new or older.
Without further ado, I would mark myself as a nerd and a geek.

I posses knowledge in HTML, php and creation of webpages from the beginning to the end. When I was at the gymnasium, I had created and webmastered the ecological and class sites for my schoolmates (now reconstructed at https://piskovna-jh.konhefr.com and https://jjsbirds.konhefr.com, respectively). Moreover, I posses long-term practical experiences with typesetting programm LaTeX, in which I wrote all my three theses at the university. I enjoy also networking, Linux, BOINC and more other technologies.

IT has teached me how to solve sometimes even very tough and complex problems.

And, two heads are better than one. Do you need any advice? Do you have got any clever solution of any IT problem?

 


 

Photo- and videomedial knowledge

"If you talk about change but don't change the reward
and recognition system, nothing changes.
" - Paul Allaire

I'm artistically-based since my childhood. Throughout a playing on some musical instruments and drawing, I settled in creating of audiovisual content. It meets my needs the most. Photo and video became great tools for capturing and recording my current present. In fact, this audiovisual intertwines with science which is not so different from the art of scientific design, creation and creativity.

I take photographs. I shoot videos. I love documents and documentation of our reality. The creativity needs time and patience, however, it is worth to wait for it.

The visual design makes our world more beautiful.

The inspiration is all around us.


 


 

Brewing knowlegde

"In vino veritas, in beer too." - unknown author

As the saying goes, every Czech is a beer lover. The beer plays very important role in our czech culture.

I'm proud Czech. Therefore, I brew my own beer. No wonder, I'm closely related to microbiology and biotechnology as a biochemist. Once in a while, I spend a lot of time by quite hard craft work. Crafting a beer can mean sometimes even two months of waiting for a glass of my beer. However, then the original beer is created which you cannot buy anywhere.

Homebrewing is awesome hobby, during which
you can reveal an unlimited beer diversity.

To know about a beer more than that it is drinkable. To taste what is not available around.
