Pilot and club intake

Send pilot requests with enough context to route them responsibly.

Use this route for visiting pilots, clubs, instructors, small groups, site corrections, safety questions, and public-interest cooperation. It is a structured intake route, not flight clearance.

Short answer: Pilot requests for Montenegro work best as structured email with enough detail to identify the request type, pilot status, timing, area, group size, equipment, and safety or support question. WhatsApp is reserved for urgent pilot escalation only.

Contact and routing

Ask for the right next step

Contact starts with clarification and the right next page. Structured email is the default for pilots, clubs, instructors, media, NGO, and formal requests. WhatsApp stays limited to urgent pilot escalation.

Why this is a useful start

Why this page helps

Gives visiting pilots and clubs a serious route without making paragliding.me a general booking desk.

Collects enough context to separate orientation, rules, site, service, education, correction, and urgent-support questions.

Keeps responsibility clear: public routing does not replace current local judgment, official sources, permissions, insurance, or pilot decisions.

Send a structured pilot request

Use this route when a short public page is no longer enough and the request needs routing by a real person.

Send pilot request

The email template asks for:

  • request type
  • name and email
  • country or club
  • pilot status
  • license or rating, if relevant
  • insurance status
  • planned dates
  • area of interest
  • number of pilots
  • equipment type
  • main question

Request types

Use one clear request type in the first line:

  • pilot-orientation
  • club-group
  • instructor-training
  • site-correction
  • safety-weather-question
  • media-ngo
  • wrong-site-route

That first line matters. It shows whether the request belongs to general orientation, rules and airspace, site notes, practical pilot support, public-interest cooperation, or a correction.

When WhatsApp is appropriate

Use WhatsApp only for urgent pilot escalation:

Open urgent WhatsApp

That means a clearly time-sensitive pilot matter where normal email routing is too slow. It does not mean general availability checks, first-time tourist tandem questions, broad travel planning, or casual site comparison.

What this request does not do

Submitting a pilot request does not create:

  • flight clearance
  • site permission
  • weather approval
  • airspace approval
  • insurance confirmation
  • instructor responsibility
  • permission to ignore local briefings or current official sources

The request can help route the question. It cannot replace the pilot’s responsibility or the current local and official information that real flying decisions require.

Better context makes a better answer

Short messages often create slower answers for pilot requests.

For example, “Can we fly in Budva next week?” may actually mean several different things:

  • a visiting pilot wants site orientation
  • a club wants a group briefing
  • someone needs tandem or instructor-backed support
  • the question belongs to airspace, insurance, equipment, or weather
  • the person is actually a first-time tandem passenger and belongs on the tandem route instead

The structured intake keeps those different requests from collapsing into one vague contact thread.

Quick answers

Quick answers

Who should use this route?

Visiting pilots, future pilots with a concrete support question, clubs, instructors, small pilot groups, media or NGO contacts, and people reporting site or safety corrections.

What is the best channel?

Structured email is the default because pilot requests need context. WhatsApp is only for urgent pilot escalation after the request is clearly time-sensitive.

Can this route approve a flight?

No. It can help route and clarify a request, but it does not approve weather, airspace, launch access, insurance, supervision, or pilot readiness.

What if I only want a tandem flight?

Use the tandem and local route guidance instead. This structured intake route is not the main path for first-time tourist tandem contact.
