Drone Rules for Helipuerto de Valderrobres

Serving the Matarraña comarca, this emergency landing pad is integrated directly with the Valderrobres Health Center. It is managed by the Dirección General de Interior y Emergencias (112 Aragón) as a key H24 medical airlift node providing critical emergency evacuations and trauma transport for the eastern tip of the Teruel province.

Key Requirements & Restrictions

• Restrictions: Airspace is fully restricted from 0 meters AGL upward within a 2.5km radius to safeguard low-altitude medical helicopter approach vectors and rapid-response night landings.
• Permission Steps: Remote pilots must establish and sign a formal Operational Coordination Agreement with the Dirección General de Interior y Emergencias of the Gobierno de Aragón (112 Aragón) prior to any flight.
• Requirements: Operating a ground control station, launching, or landing anywhere on the health center premises or adjacent municipal public space requires explicit administrative clearance from the local healthcare facility management and the Valderrobres Town Hall.
• Important Notes: The facility sits directly north of the highly protected Puertos de Beceite mountain range, intersecting active ZEPA (Special Protection Area for Birds) sectors that require extreme environmental awareness to avoid disturbing protected nesting raptor populations.
• Physical Hazards: The localized valley topography along the Matarraña river creates sudden downslope wind shear and unpredictable mountain gusts. The transition between the rural urban edge and active agricultural plots introduces high-density overhead low-voltage distribution lines and localized radio-frequency shadowing.
