Drone Rules for Base Helitransportada Ejea de los Caballeros Incendios Forestales Aragón

This helipad is managed by the Gobierno de Aragón, specifically the Servicio de Prevención y Extinción de Incendios Forestales, and serves as a critical base for aerial fire fighting operations in the region.

Key Requirements & Restrictions

• Restrictions: Operations within the 2.5 km safety zone around the Base Helitransportada Ejea de los Caballeros are prohibited from 0m AGL without an 'Acuerdo de Coordinación Operativa' as per Real Decreto 517/2024. While not within a permanent CTR/TMA, drone operators must be aware that temporary flight restrictions (TFRs) or segregated areas (TSAs) may be issued via NOTAM during active fire incidents, which would supersede general rules and strictly prohibit unauthorized drone activity.
• Permission Steps: Contact the Servicio de Prevención y Extinción de Incendios Forestales del Gobierno de Aragón for any coordination requests related to operations near this base.
• Requirements: Secure local ground-use permits from the Ayuntamiento de Ejea de los Caballeros and obtain property access permission from the managing authority of the base.
• Important Notes: Absolute priority must be given to fire fighting and emergency response operations. Drone interference with aerial fire fighting assets (helicopters, fixed-wing aircraft) is extremely dangerous and strictly prohibited, potentially leading to severe legal consequences. Always check for active NOTAMs, especially during fire season.
• Physical Hazards: Sudden and unannounced departures/arrivals of fire fighting helicopters, low-level flight operations in the vicinity, presence of ground personnel and specialized equipment, potential for rapidly changing operational conditions due to fire incidents.
