Drone Rules for Flugplatz Eudenbach
Drone operations are completely prohibited within a 1.5-kilometer radius around the Eudenbach airfield perimeter. Launching any unmanned aerial system here requires mandatory prior approval from the local airfield commander.
02 // JURIDICAL INJUNCTION & LIABILITY WARNING [RULE & CONSEQUENCES]In strict execution of § 21h Abs. 3 Nr. 1 LuftVO, unauthorized unmanned vehicle deployments are legally banned within the 1.5 km lateral buffer envelope to protect low-approaching visual flight rules (VFR) traffic. Operating a drone inside this protection grid without explicit tower clearance constitutes a serious dangerous interference with air traffic according to § 315a StGB. Non-compliance results in immediate equipment confiscation by law enforcement, civil liability for operational disruptions, and regulatory fines reaching up to €50,000.03 // CRITICAL COLLISION VECTORS & SITE ANOMALIES [REASON]The airfield operates a 525-meter grass runway layout configured in a 06/24 orientation at an elevation of 1184 feet MSL. The local environment acts as a highly active soaring center on the edge of the Westerwald, handling intensive glider winch launches with high-velocity steel cables, airplane aero-tows, motor gliders (TMGs), and ultralight traffic on radio frequency 121.380 MHz. Unexpected drone encounters near the approach paths present an extreme risk, as descending non-powered gliders cannot execute sudden low-altitude evasive maneuvers.04 // SPECIAL WAIVER REGISTRATION & EMERGENCY DESK [EXCEPTION & CONTACT]Exceptional grid access permissions are processed manually on a case-by-case evaluation. Drone remote operators must submit their precise geographic target coordinates, personal EU pilot credentials, and a verified drone liability insurance policy to the administrative management prior to starting any electric or fuel propulsion. Document checks and localized PPR clearance are handled on-site by Luftsportverein Bad Honnef e.V., Flugplatz Eudenbach, 53639 Königswinter (Direct tower desk connection via the official club office).
