Drone Rules for Sonderlandeplatz Hirzenhain - Segelfliegerclub Hirzenhain e.V.
Operating remote drones inside the 1.5 km geo-corridor of Hirzenhain Sonderlandeplatz (EDFI) is prohibited without prior permission due to vulnerable low-altitude glider patterns and localized hazards.
Keeping the surrounding airspace safe is a high priority within the 1.5 km restriction perimeter guarding the Hirzenhain aviation site (EDFI). This regional grass-strip facility experiences intense weekend traffic involving sailplanes, ultralights, and dedicated model aircraft. Drone operators must remain exceptionally vigilant due to known obstacles, including a prominent high-voltage power line situated directly to the west. Because incoming VFR flights and gliders utilizing winch launches establish tight local circuit patterns at 2,800 feet MSL, uncoordinated drone activities create an extreme safety hazard. Operating inside this lateral safety buffer requires an official waiver. Flight clearance requests must be filed in advance with the operating organization (Segelflieger-Club HiHai e.V.) by calling the airfield office directly at +4927701314. Real-time air traffic advisory can be monitored on the designated Hirzenhain Info frequency 118.330.
