Drone Rules for Flugplatz Grube
Drone deployments within 1.5 km of Grube Airfield (EDHB) are banned without explicit prior operator clearance due to complex mixed aviation circuits and low-altitude coastal flight activities.
This specific geographical restriction zones off the 1.5 km protective buffer surrounding the Sonderlandeplatz Grube (EDHB), situated just three kilometers from the Baltic Sea coast. The grass airfield operates under a strict dual-circuit configuration, directing motorized aircraft to a northern traffic pattern and gliders to a southern track at 1,000 feet MSL. Additionally, the local airspace experiences transient skydiving drops, ultralight training, and very low-altitude VFR arrivals that cross the adjacent access road at only 50 feet GND near the runway 27 threshold. Because these fast-descending and non-motorized aircraft operate silently near the perimeter borders, uncoordinated drone usage poses a catastrophic collision risk. Strict Prior Permission Required (PPR) mandates apply. Exceptional flight clearance or waiver verification must be arranged in advance with the operating club (Luftsportclub Condor e.V.) by calling +494365399. Airfield advisory communication is active via Grube Radio on the updated frequency 132.015 MHz.
