Drone Rules for Segelfluggelände Neresheim
Launching unmanned aerial vehicles inside the 1.5 km buffer zone surrounding Neresheim Glider Field is prohibited to avoid hazardous encounters with high-density flight training and active thermal soaring.
This dedicated safety corridor enforces a 1.5 km protection perimeter centered on the Neresheim aviation site (Fleinersloh). Situated on the eastern Härtsfeld plateau, the airfield serves as an active hub for sailplane training camps, cross-country glider flights, and ultralight traffic. Because these non-motorized aircraft utilize early-morning thermal updrafts and establish a tight local traffic circuit pattern at 2,600 feet MSL, uncoordinated drone usage poses a severe mid-air collision hazard. Operating within this buffer zone is restricted during operational hours. For essential flight coordination or temporary waiver requests, remote pilots must contact the operating association (Segelfliegergruppe Neresheim e.V.) directly at +497326334. Ground control and local VFR traffic advisory communication can be monitored on the Neresheim Radio frequency 126.015 MHz.
