Drone Rules for Flugplatz Seedorf
Drone flights within 1.5 km of Seedorf Airfield (EDXS) are strictly prohibited without prior permission from ground operations due to dense weekend ultralight activity.
This specific airspace limitation monitors the 1.5 km geographical security zone surrounding the Seedorf Sonderlandeplatz (EDXS). Located in the Rotenburg district, this unmonitored grass-strip facility features a short 450-meter runway heavily utilized by local flying clubs for ultralight (UL) aircraft, motor gliders, and light general aviation. Incoming manned traffic routinely executes a mandatory southern traffic circuit pattern at 800 feet MSL. Because these lightweight aircraft have a limited field of view and operate at very low altitudes during final approach stages, uncoordinated drone deployment creates an immediate mid-air collision hazard near the runway 07/25 borders. Operating inside this lateral protection zone requires an official prior permission (PPR) waiver. To request flight validation, remote pilots must coordinate with the operating club (Fliegergruppe Seedorf e.V.) before takeoff. Local air traffic announcements can be actively monitored using the callsign Seedorf Radio on frequency 119.650.
