Drone Rules for Flugplatz Freiburg
Operating drones within the 1.5 km geo-zone surrounding Freiburg Airfield (EDTF) is heavily restricted to safeguard low-altitude aircraft and frequent local emergency helicopter operations.
This safety corridor monitors the 1.5 km operational area surrounding the historic Freiburg-Breisgau Airfield (EDTF). Located directly adjacent to the urban center and the local football stadium, the aerodrome features busy VFR traffic, flight training, and glider activities. Crucially, the facility acts as a primary base for the DRF air rescue helicopter "Christoph 54", resulting in unpredictable, low-altitude emergency flights at any time of day. Uncoordinated drone deployment inside this perimeter poses an immediate collision risk. Remote pilots must strictly avoid this lateral protection zone unless an official waiver has been authorized. To clear a planned drone flight or check operational status, contact the airfield management (Flugplatz Freiburg-Breisgau GmbH) directly at +49761509626. Local airfield traffic is handled via Freiburg Tower on frequency 118.255 MHz.
