The Base INFOCA Pasada de Algeciras is managed by the Plan Infoca, a service of the Consejería de Sostenibilidad, Medio Ambiente y Economía Azul of the Junta de Andalucía, and is a critical asset for the 112 Andalucía emergency network, primarily for wildfire fighting and prevention. ### Key Requirements & Restrictions * **Restrictions:** A ground-up (0m AGL) flight prohibition is enforced within a 8km safety radius of the base, as mandated by RD 517/2024. Strict avoidance of all flight paths during active firefighting, search and rescue (SAR), and medical helicopter (HEMS) operations is mandatory. Operators must verify any potential interaction with the controlled airspace of Gibraltar (EGKK) or other specific low-level routes, which would necessitate AESA authorization and ENAIRE coordination. * **Permission Steps:** An 'Acuerdo de Coordinación Operativa' must be obtained from the Plan Infoca management (Junta de Andalucía) and the heliport's operational authority. Coordination with 112 Andalucía is essential, especially during fire season. If within controlled or restricted airspace, AESA authorization and ENAIRE NOTAM/coordination are mandatory. * **Requirements:** Any ground-based drone activities require specific land-use permits from the Ayuntamiento de Algeciras. Strict adherence to fire prevention regulations and operational safety protocols for emergency services is paramount. * **Important Notes:** Operations in the broader area, especially those related to wildfire prevention or monitoring, may interact with areas designated as ZEPA or Natura 2000 (e.g., Parque Natural Los Alcornocales), requiring specific environmental permits and awareness of wildlife. Operations must not interfere with critical emergency communications. * **Physical Hazards:** Frequent and often unscheduled firefighting, SAR, and HEMS helicopter movements. Sudden, localized smoke plumes during active fire incidents. Strong and unpredictable winds characteristic of the Strait of Gibraltar. Forested and mountainous terrain surrounding the base, posing navigational challenges and potential for power lines. ### Sources & Verification * ENAIRE Drones Map (Aeronautical Servitudes Registry). * Plan Infoca (Junta de Andalucía) / 112 Andalucía. * Ayuntamiento de Algeciras Urban Planning Department.
