Drone Rules for EDXU - Flugplatz Hüttenbusch
Drone operations inside the 1.5 km boundary of Hüttenbusch Airfield (EDGO) are prohibited without prior permission due to low-altitude flight training and ultralight traffic.
This geographical protection envelope enforces a 1.5 km safety radius around the Hüttenbusch Sonderlandeplatz (EDGO). Positioned north of Bremen near the Teufelsmoor region, this unmonitored 600-meter grass strip serves as an active hub for ultralight (UL) aircraft, motorized trikes, and local flight schools. Manned aviation traffic routinely conducts a mandatory northern circuit pattern at 800 feet MSL, leading to very low-altitude operations directly over the property borders. Because student pilots and lightweight aircraft operate with high reliance on visual flight rules (VFR) self-announcements, uncoordinated drone usage creates a critical mid-air collision hazard near the active runway 11/29. To secure an exceptional operational waiver, remote pilots must establish prior permission (PPR) with the local club (Luftsportgemeinschaft Hüttenbusch e.V.) before takeoff. Airfield advisory communications can be monitored on the assigned frequency 119.965.
