Drone Rules for Flugplatz Locktow
Drone deployments within 1.5 km of Locktow Airfield are strictly banned without explicit prior operator permission due to tight environmental buffer zones and low-altitude ultralight traffic.
This specific geographical restriction zones off the 1.5 km protective buffer surrounding the Sonderlandeplatz Locktow. Positioned in the Planetal region directly west of the active A9 motorway, this 400-meter unmonitored grass strip accommodates a steady volume of lightweight three-axis ultralights, motorized trikes, and local flight school training. Crucially, remote pilots must maintain absolute spatial awareness as the facility immediately borders the protected Belziger Landschaftswiesen environment, where low-altitude overflights are strictly regulated to protect local wildlife. Because these light sports aircraft execute tight visual approach profiles near the runway 11/29 parameters without a permanent control tower, uncoordinated drone flights present an immediate tactical mid-air collision hazard. Prior Permission Required (PPR) terms apply. Exceptional operational clearance must be negotiated with the management (Frank Miklis) by calling the control desk at +493384341818. Airfield movements can be monitored via Locktow Info on frequency 126.500 MHz.
