Drone Rules for Torgau-Beilrode Flugplatz
Drone operations within 1.5 km of Torgau-Beilrode Airfield are banned without explicit prior clearance due to intensive winch-launch paragliding.
This specific geographical restriction zones off the 1.5 km safety boundary surrounding the Sonderlandeplatz Torgau-Beilrode (EDOG). Positioned directly adjacent to the commercial railway line and just south of the restricted military airspace ED-R 70, this grass airfield accommodates intense weekend winch-launch procedures for hang gliders, utilizing launch cables up to 1,100 meters. Incoming VFR flight traffic operates at low altitude near the perimeter limits, creating an acute mid-air collision hazard for unauthorized drone deployments. Illegal airspace violations near these parameters trigger severe legal penalties under national aviation laws, including massive administrative fines. Remote pilots seeking an exceptional operational waiver must coordinate directly with the local club by calling the duty manager at +491729043121. Current airfield activity can be actively monitored using the callsign Beilrode Start on frequency 128.160.
