VASP is one aviation question, not the whole flight decision

The term in plain language

Vanaerodromsko slijetanje i polijetanje means landing and take-off outside an aerodrome. It is an aviation-location question. It is not a synonym for airspace permission, landowner consent, pilot qualification, passenger consent, or a tourism-service license.

Read Article 22 in order

The new Air Transport Law should be read in sequence:

• Article 22(1) sets the ordinary aerodrome rule.
• Article 22(2) describes outside-aerodrome use with ACV approval for the cases to which that framework applies.
• Article 22(3)(1) says the approval rule does not apply to aircraft whose landing place, because of their characteristics, cannot be determined in advance. Other items cover emergency, medical, search and rescue, firefighting, military, and special-purpose operations.
• Article 22(4) and following paragraphs describe the approval and responsibility structure for the remaining cases.

That sequence matters. The law does not say “every movement outside an aerodrome is automatically the same.” It creates a general structure and exceptions.

Then read the special paraglider rule

Article 6 of the paraglider rulebook says directly:

“Pilotu paraglajdera nije potrebno odobrenje za vanaerodromsko slijetanje i polijetanje paraglajderom.”

That is the clearest text in the current source set for the narrow VASP question. It should be quoted accurately and then bounded. The rulebook also imposes pilot-document, safety, tandem, and passenger-information requirements; it does not transform a paraglider into an unregulated activity.

Planned landing is not the same as guaranteed landing

A pilot may plan to land in a particular field. That practical plan does not necessarily mean the characteristics of a paraglider allow the landing place to be determined or guaranteed in advance in the sense used by Article 22(3)(1).

This distinction is useful for analysis, but it is not presented as established court or ACV interpretation. A recurring commercial operation with a defined landing area should therefore not rely only on the Article 22(3)(1) exception. It must be read with Article 6, the actual operation, and current authority practice.

The older 79/2017 rulebook

The ACV legislation index still publishes the Rulebook on outside-aerodrome landing and take-off, adopted in 2017. Its text contains older exclusions, including aircraft for which the landing place cannot be determined in advance and an operational-mass threshold. After the new law, that wording should be treated as a transition and compatibility question until current ACV application is confirmed. It is not a safe standalone argument that every paraglider is exempt because of mass.

Three separate checks

Add the pilot and passenger qualification check, the weather decision, and the commercial/tourism or event check where the facts require them.

Source status

Primary routes: the Air Transport Law, the paraglider rulebook, and the ACV legislation index. The public ACV paraglider reminder confirms that valid documents, technical equipment, suitable weather, locations, distances, and airspace still matter.

This is a controlled draft, last source review 30 August 2026. It does not replace a formal ACV answer for a named operation.
