brajici

Brajići sits above the Adriatic coast in Montenegro, close to Tivat international airport — a small-to-medium takeoff (max about 2 pilots at once) that has been enlarged and improved over recent seasons. The site is workable but not straightforward: landing options are tight in July and August (no formal landing agreements exist for the summer season, and the LZ area is crowded), so it's better suited to experienced pilots and acro. Local pilot advice and site information are limited, but the local guiding operation can provide maps and accommodation.

Launch & conditions

Small-to-medium takeoff — max about 2 pilots at once. Good for acro. Not many pilots on site; local advice is limited.

Getting there & local rules

Contact the local guiding operation for maps and access details. Landings: beach or car parking area — very difficult in July and August when there's no space. Other local sites in Montenegro offer better landing options through the summer. Best season: early April to end of October, sometimes into November.

Local rules & hazards

Close to Tivat international airport — local agreement with height restrictions in some places; ask a local pilot about the controlled airspace (typically 1,200 m ASL). Airspace status has been under discussion — check with local pilots before flying. Watch for occasional summer Cu-Nim activity, and the Bora — a katabatic wind so strong that no one would think of flying it. No formal landing agreements exist for the crowded summer LZ.

Check conditions before you fly

A forecast for the valley is not a forecast for the launch. Before heading to brajici, read the wind and thermals for the site itself, confirm the day's rules with the local club, and remember the standing rule — when in doubt, don't launch. In the free OutDare app you can open brajici with a 7-day forecast built from high-resolution weather models, see who else has been flying, and get there with offline maps.
