Drone Rules for Flughafengesellschaft Mönchengladbach GmbH

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 commercial 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 airport operates a 1200-meter asphalt runway layout configured in a 13/31 orientation. The local environment acts as a highly congested aviation training and business charter hub, handling twin-engine aircraft, regional jets, and extensive flight school traffic on tower frequency 120.455 MHz. Unexpected drone encounters near the approach paths present an extreme risk, as commercial planes 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 Flughafen Mönchengladbach GmbH, Am Flughafen 5, 41066 Mönchengladbach (Direct tower desk line: +49 2161 689810).
