This particular protection zone establishes a 1.5 km safety boundary around the traditional gliding site Hornberg. The area is highly active with glider training schools, winch-launch operations, and intensive ridge soaring along the Swabian Alb hillsides. Because these non-motorized aircraft frequently utilize thermals and make low-altitude approaches over the perimeter, unauthorized drone flights present a critical collision risk. Remote pilots must keep out of this lateral zone unless they hold an explicit waiver. Coordination and prior permission (PPR) requests should be directed to the resident operating club (Fliegergruppe Schwäbisch Gmünd e.V.) by calling their operations line at +49717189999. Local air traffic advisory can be monitored via the Hornberg Radio frequency on 122.030 MHz.
