Is there anybody who has expereinces with flight schools in Czech Republic? What is the average to obtain a PPL(A) in Czech Republic?
And how long does it usually take to do the exam and then receive the licence?

When I had to convert my non-JAR license, I visited several flight schools around Czech Republic, and chose DSA (http://www.dsa.cz/en/) in Hradec Kralove, which made an impression a notch above the rest. My subsequent experience at DSA and elsewhere in Czech Republic only reconfirmed that first impression. Their current prices are here (http://www.dsa.cz/_files/file/kompletn%C3%AD%20cen%C3%ADk%20fto_en%282%29.pdf) (25 CZK ≈ 1 EUR). Feel free to message me with any questions.
In terms of duration, you need a minimum of 45 flight hours (which is used as a basis for the list prices), but count on actually doing it in 60-70. The practical exam is held right at the school (DSA has its own examiner), the theoretical one - at the CAA. Obtaining a license afterwards takes a 10-minute visit to CAA at the Prague airport with your signed practical exam record.
50 to 60 is what i consider an average. Plety of schools around, Letecká ?kola F-AIR - více ne? létání (http://www.f-air.cz) and Letecká ?kola Flying Academy - profesonální pilotní výcvik (http://www.euro-pilot.cz) are perhaps the biggest. Consider visiting F air at LKBE.
