Legal Notice

All activities must be carried out exclusively within the authorized airspace.

The head of activity specified in the request must daily, by telephone obtain from the competent air traffic control a tactical approval to start using the authorized airspace and report the end of using the authorized airspace to the competent air traffic control.

The head of activity must be always available during the activity on the mobile phone number provided in the airspace reservation request.

The head of activity must inform the competent air traffic control when completely aborting the activity.

At the request of the competent air traffic control or Airspace Management Cell, the head of activity shall terminate all activities in the authorized airspace as soon as possible and confirm by telephone that all activities have been terminated.

Aircraft pilots involved in the activities within the authorized airspace must avoid active prohibited, restricted and danger areas. In case of activation of such and similar areas, the competent air traffic control can deny its authorization for the start or continuation of activities in the authorized airspace.

The competent air traffic control separates the flights subject to separation (according to the classification of airspace) from the determined areas (see AIP GEN 1.7).

The rules of conducting night VFR flights are laid down in Article 28 of the Ordinance on Rules of the Air and in SERA 5005 (c).

The rules of conducting night parachute jumps are laid down in the Ordinance on Parachuting (Official Gazette of the Republic of Croatia No. 65/2015, 147/2020), Articles 3, 9, 13, 17, and 18.

Operators of unmanned aircraft must comply with the general flying requirements defined by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/947 on rules and procedures for the operation of unmanned aircraft and the Ordinance on Airspace Management (Official Gazette No. 20/2023). If they lose control of the unmanned aircraft, the operator must immediately inform the competent air traffic control thereof.

Balloons/lanterns must not be connected in any way. Balloons must not contain solid parts. The ground wind at the launch site must not exceed a light breeze (1-3 knots). There must be no clouds below 2000m above the terrain at the launch site. After the tactical approval period granted by the competent air traffic control expires, there must be no parts of lanterns (in flight or falling) in controlled airspace. If the traffic situation is such that balloons/lanterns cannot be released while simultaneously maintaining the safety, regularity, and efficiency of air traffic, the competent air traffic control will not give its tactical approval to release the balloons/lanterns.

If the user does not comply with these conditions, their use of controlled airspace will be restricted to the minimum possible extent or completely denied in the interest of the safety, regularity, and efficiency of air traffic.
