Drone Rules for Segelflugplatz Isny
Drone usage within the 1.5 km safety zone surrounding Isny-Rotmoos Airfield is banned without explicit authorization from the local club to prevent mid-air collisions with low-altitude aviation.
This specific airspace restriction safeguards the 1.5 km lateral corridor surrounding the Isny-Rotmoos glider field. Situated in the scenic Allgäu foothills, this grass-strip airfield is heavily utilized for intensive sailplane training camps, weekend winch launches, and local ultralight traffic. Inbound traffic establishes a northern circuit pattern at 3,000 feet MSL, passing low over the nearby moorland environment. Because non-motorized aircraft operate silently and descend quickly near the property borders, unauthorized drone deployment creates an immediate safety hazard. Operating inside this buffer requires a mandatory operational waiver. Coordination requests must be handled in advance through the ground operations desk (Luftsportgruppe Isny e.V.) by calling +4975624951. Active flight activity can be monitored via the callsign Isny Radio on the assigned frequency 118.080.
