The missing step is the amendment history: deletion in 2019, no restoration in 2023, then a new Air Transport Law in 2026.
First make the activity understandable, then point practical questions to the page or dedicated guide that can answer them best. This guide can discuss tradeoffs, limits, and uncertainty without turning into a booking page.
The 2018 paraglider rulebook is still publicly accessible. If a reader opens only that PDF, Article 6 paragraph 4 appears to settle the question in one sentence.
But legislation is a chain, not a screenshot. A base act must be read with its later amendments and the current law above it. Here, the amendment chain changes the answer materially.
The original 2018 paraglider rulebook printed the blanket VASP sentence in Article 6 paragraph 4. This explains why the statement continues to appear in summaries and pilot discussions.
It establishes the history of the wording. It does not establish its current status.
Article 3 of the official
2019 amendment
says: Stav 4 briše se — paragraph 4 is deleted.
That is the decisive correction. A current summary cannot quote Article 6 paragraph 4 from the original PDF without immediately explaining that the paragraph was removed.
The official 2023 amendment changes Articles 11, 17, 27 and 28 and replaces a form. It does not restore Article 6 paragraph 4.
The ACV’s current legislation index lists the base rulebook together with both amendments. That presentation is a useful reminder that the three documents must be read as one amended source chain.
Article 22 of the current Air Transport Law 52/2026 sets a default requirement for ACV approval for take-off and landing outside an aerodrome, then lists exceptions. One exception concerns aircraft whose landing place cannot be determined in advance because of their characteristics.
This editorial note does not turn that exception into a universal yes or no for paragliders. Its narrower job is to show why the deleted 2018 sentence cannot do the work by itself.
When an old paraglider rule appears to answer VASP in one line:
It does not decide whether a particular solo flight falls inside an Article 22 exception. It does not confirm airspace access or landowner consent. It also does not establish whether a paid tandem provider is registered or otherwise compliant.
For that current Montenegro pilot question, continue to the VASP and solo-pilot source owner linked below.
Source review: 8 September 2026. Approved for controlled indexation as an editorial source note, not an approval, a legal opinion or a flight briefing.
Its original Article 6 paragraph 4 printed a blanket sentence that a paraglider pilot did not need VASP approval.
No. Article 3 of the 2019 amendment deleted Article 6 paragraph 4.
No. It changed Articles 11, 17, 27 and 28 and the form, but did not restore Article 6 paragraph 4.
Article 22 of Air Transport Law 52/2026, followed by the amended paraglider rulebook and the facts of the particular flight.
No. It removes an outdated shortcut. Current applicability depends on Article 22, the aircraft and landing facts, and a current ACV reading.
