Summary
Edit rules/place details on map

Under Real Decreto 517/2024, drone operations inside the 2.5km safety zone of Helipuerto de Castellote (Teruel) are strictly prohibited from the surface level up unless an operational coordination agreement is signed with the regional authority.

Situated in the challenging Maestrazgo area of Teruel, this municipal facility acts as an emergency hub for 112 Aragón medical transport helicopters and operates as a tactical staging ground for regional INFOAR wildland firefighting teams during seasonal wildfire operations.

Essential Criteria & Limitations

  • Limitations: Airspace is completely limited from 0 meters AGL upwards within a 2.5km safety zone to protect low-altitude medical extraction paths and emergency helitack operations.
  • Authorization Process: Before any launch, remote pilots need to create and sign a formal Operational Coordination Agreement with the Dirección General de Interior y Emergencias of the Gobierno de Aragón (112 Aragón).
  • Requirements: Conducting ground operations, staging, or launching a UAS from public land within the municipality necessitates clear land-use approval from the Castellote Town Hall administration.
  • Key Points: Drone operators must diligently keep track of real-time INFOAR fire prevention alerts and temporary airspace restrictions (NOTAMs), particularly during the heightened forest fire alert period from May to October.
  • Physical Hazards: The intense mountainous landscape includes striking rocky cliffs that produce abrupt downslope wind shear and localized thermal updrafts. The contours of deep valleys and closeness to tall rock formations present considerable hazards for signal interference and compass malfunction.
