Drone Rules for Segelflugplatz Geitau
Drone operations are completely prohibited within a 1.5-kilometer radius around the Geitau gliding field perimeter. Launching any unmanned aerial system here requires mandatory prior approval from the local airfield commander.
Active Launch & Traffic Mechanics: Operational profiles utilize a 700-meter grass runway layout paired with a parallel glider landing strip. Flight activities involve heavy dual winch launching configurations with rapid altitude gains, airplane aero-tows (F-Schlepp), and sudden high-speed thermal entries of gliders descending from alpine routes, monitoring communication on radio frequency 123.425 MHz.Aerodrome Fleet Profile: The facility functions as a specialized private visual flight rules (VFR) aviation site at the edge of the Alps, primarily accommodating non-powered club gliders, high-performance motor gliders (TMGs), and dedicated tow planes. Motorized aircraft access is strictly restricted to local club-registered aircraft only.Regulatory Standard & Restrictions: In absolute accordance with national geographic protection frameworks (§ 21h LuftVO), unauthorized unmanned multirotor deployments are legally prohibited within a 1.5-kilometer lateral boundary of this airfield property to maintain safe low-approach corridors.Geographical Exception Criteria: Exceptional geographic permits for temporary drone operations inside the security parameter are handled on an individual case-by-case basis. Remote operators must register prior to the flight timeline, uploading a specific coordinate map, a valid EU remote pilot license, and active drone liability insurance documents to the club desk.On-Site Operational Office: For administrative document evaluation, local airspace status, and direct field coordination, contact the managing board office at Segelfluggruppe Geitau e.V., Geitau 4, 83735 Bayrischzell.
