About us

Welcome to the Flying Revue International website - a unique source of information for pilots planning their VFR flights around Europe.

Flying Revue history   Czech Flying Revue magazine was first published in Prague, Czech Republic in 2008 as a source of interesting information for Aviation enthusiasts. In December 2014 it was bought out by our group of Aviation professionals (our team). A website was added soon afterwards. Our prime focus is to provide reliable information and knowledge for VFR pilots who wish to fly internationally. Most of our products, services, publications, photos, videos etc. are of our own original production.  

Flying Revue International    Recognising the potential for developing General Aviation tourism within Europe and other parts of the world we decided to open an English language version of our international website. Here you can find information and products that can be helpful to pilots preparing VFR flights to any country in Europe as well as experience from VFR expeditions in other countries and continents.

Flying Revue as a printed Magazine. At this time only in Czech language

On Flying Revue International website you can find the following unique products:

» VFR Communication

Our  English VFR Communication App is based on practical experience and situations that can be faced by any pilot on an international VFR flight in controlled and uncontrolled airspace. Any user of the Application needs to have reasonably good general English communication skills to be able to use the appropriate aviation phraseology. Each of the Application chapters offers the possibility to listen to sample recordings of communications in various VFR flight situations recorded by professionals and experienced pilots. Each pilot can also record, listen to and keep improving her/his own communication skills. This functionality is strengthened by animations showing various aircraft positions in the circuit and around the airport as well as providing examples of correct position reporting.  Also, the student can listen to actual flight communication recorded during VFR flights over various countries of Europe, North America and Africa. These recordings are sorted according to individual phases of flight in order for you to be able to hear several alternatives by controllers of various nationalities. Listening to various accents and sometime even different expressions will definitely upgrade your ability to understand and communicate well in the complex European skies.

The study material in the Application is complemented by videos and photographs of real life situations which will help you memorize and understand the theory much faster. Each chapter also contains a knowledge test which allows evaluation of your theoretical knowledge and ability to correctly understand the messages broadcast by the controllers. The Application can assist anyone wishing to acquire professional capability and VFR communication skills even before her/his first international flight. The application is currently available with explanations in four languages - English, German, Czech and Russian.
