Drone Rules for Flugplatz Meiersberg
Drone flights within 1.5 km of Meiersberg Airfield are prohibited due to intensive winch-launch glider operations and its immediate proximity to the active Düsseldorf Airport controlled airspace (CTR).
This specific safety corridor enforces a 1.5 km protection perimeter around the Meiersberg aviation site (DE-0204). Operating a drone near this property involves immense risk, as the airfield sits directly on the boundary of the Düsseldorf Airport Class D Control Zone (CTR) and features its own activated glider sectors up to 4,500 feet MSL. Additionally, the field maintains highly active winch-launch glider procedures and motorized flight training. Uncoordinated drone activities present a severe hazard to low-flying aircraft tracking local patterns. Therefore, unauthorized operations remain restricted. For exceptional waiver requests, remote pilots must coordinate in advance with the resident club (Sportflug Niederberg e.V.) by calling the ground office at +49210250695. Airfield advisories can be actively monitored using the callsign Meiersberg Radio on frequency 123.055 MHz.
