Drone Rules for Flugplatz Fichtelbrunn

Technical Local Procedures & InfrastructureThe underlying operational necessity for this dynamic boundary falls under the regional aviation framework (§ 21h LuftVO) to guarantee strict collision mitigation for low-altitude non-powered flight operations. The facility, embedded in the northern Oberpfälzer Jura, handles a unique and complex layout requiring extreme pilot attention: landing operations are strictly restricted to runway direction 09 only, while takeoffs are exclusively conducted on runway direction 27. The field features a 560-meter asphalt runway layout combined with a parallel 500-meter grass strip. Active localized traffic routes on frequency 123.965 MHz managed by "Fichtelbrunn Start" involve continuous club glider aero-tows using a single dedicated ultralight towplane (TL232 Condor), motor gliders, three-axis ultralights, and highly active large-scale turbine jet model flight events up to 25 kg takeoff weight. A prominent forest layout directly north partially blocks the direct view of the runway from the northern traffic circuit at 2400 feet MSL, making unexpected low-altitude drone encounters extremely hazardous for descending aircraft.Waiver Management & Station Contact NodeExceptional localized grid waivers can be evaluated manually on a case-by-case evaluation. Drone remote operators must submit their precise geographic target coordinates, personal EU pilot competency credentials, and a verified drone liability insurance policy to the administrative management prior to starting any flight movements. Formal permission checks, PPR coordination, and document verifications are processed on-site by the administration board at Luftsportgruppe Sulzbach-Rosenberg e.V., Fichtelbrunn, 92259 Neukirchen bei Sulzbach-Rosenberg (Direct terminal phone line: +49 9663 2290).
