Drone Rules for Sonderlandeplatz Mohorn
Drone flights within 1.5 km of Mohorn Airfield (DE-0368) are strictly banned without obtaining an explicit prior operational waiver due to low-altitude ultralight and gyrocopter operations
This specific geographical restriction zones off the 1.5 km protective envelope surrounding the Ultraleichtfluggelände Mohorn (DE-0368). Positioned in the Sächsische Schweiz-Osterzgebirge region, this unmonitored 400-meter grass strip serves as an active hub for lightweight three-axis ultralights, motorized trikes, and gyrocopter training procedures. Because the facility operates without a commercial control tower, incoming manned traffic relies completely on pilot-conducted visual flight rules (VFR) self-announcements when tracking the local low-altitude pattern. Unauthorized drone deployments near the runway 04/22 boundaries present an acute mid-air collision hazard for these vulnerable sport aircraft. Operating inside this lateral safety buffer is restricted during active flight hours. Exceptional waiver coordination or prior permission (PPR) requests must be cleared well in advance with the operating organization (Ultraleicht Airsport GmbH Freital) before launching any unmanned vehicle.
