CAA: Follow the regulations when operating paraglider

The Civil Aviation Agency (CAA) calls upon citizens and tourists, i.e. paraglider pilots to strictly follow the Law on Air Transport, regulations and safety procedures, having in mind increasing number of those activities from this time of year.

We emphasise that paraglider can be operated exclusively with valid licences and ratings, the equipment must be technically serviceable and controlled, while activities can be performed in appropriate weather conditions. The pilot must have appropriate medical certificate, depending on the rating.

For the purpose of performing these activities, among other things, suitable locations must be used and stipulated distances must be followed, as well as all the rules regarding the use of airspace.

Aviation safety is the absolute priority of the State which applies European regulations and international standards in the field of aviation. Violation of regulations is sanctioned pursuant to the regulations.

Paraglider activities represent attractive, but also potentially risky aviation activity, that requires high level of proficiency, responsibility, discipline and following of procedures and regulations.

One can be reminded about the rules in Regulation on conditions for operating paragliders, paraglider pilots licences and training organisations with the amendments:

Regulation on conditions for operating paragliders, paraglider pilots licences and training organisations (“Official Gazette of Montenegro” No 83/2018)

         Amendment  (“Official Gazette of Montenegro” No 35/2019)
