    you can’t just take off from a runway without being registered and security cleared etc. Right?

    Under European rules, if you are flying domestically under VFR, you don’t necessarily need to even file a flight plan. Even if they did, nobody checks who flies the plane if it’s not an international big airport. I mean I sure would file either way, especially since that area is dangerous and I want authorities to know where I am if I disappear in the mountains.

    For a small grass strip in the middle of Slovenia, you might not even need a radio, but local regulations might beg to differ.

    It’s possible it’s literally as tight and controlled as getting into and driving a car is.
