Drone Rules for Flugplatz Attendorn-Finnentrop
Launching unmanned aerial vehicles inside the 1.5 km protection perimeter of Attendorn-Finnentrop Airfield (EDKU) is strictly restricted to eliminate mid-air collision hazards with local flight traffic.
Ensuring strict airspace safety is vital within the 1.5 km geographical buffer surrounding the EDKU aviation site. Situated on the Wiethfeld ridge between the Ennest industrial park and the nearby Ahauser reservoir lake, this Sonderlandeplatz is highly active with general aviation. The facility accommodates motorized aircraft, lightweight ultralights, and gliders, which regularly navigate tricky low-altitude approach lines due to the surrounding hills and valley thermals. Uncoordinated drone deployment inside these property borders presents an extreme hazard to manned aircraft configuring their final landing stages. Operating within this lateral buffer zone is restricted. For exceptional operational waivers or prior flight coordination, remote pilots must contact the management team (Luftsportclub Attendorn-Finnentrop e.V.) directly by calling +49272250546. Local traffic advisory communications can be monitored via Attendorn Radio on frequency 120.075 MHz.
