Under Real Decreto 517/2024, drone operations inside the active aeronautical safety zone of HELIPUERTO GUARDO, located in the province of Palencia (Castilla y León), are strictly forbidden from the ground level up unless a formal operational coordination agreement is executed with the facility manager.
An analysis of the airspace surrounding HELIPUERTO GUARDO, situated in the municipality of Guardo within the Palencia province (Castilla y León), highlights the strict regulatory prohibitions imposed by Real Decreto 517/2024. UAS operations are forbidden by default inside this infrastructure's active aeronautical safety zone (servidumbres aeronáuticas), a restriction that applies explicitly from the surface level (0 meters AGL) upward. Although a 2.5km radius around the helipad is commonly adopted by remote pilots as an acceptable reference value to gauge low-altitude localized flight hazards, any physical flight inside this volume requires lifting the default prohibition by establishing a signed Operational Coordination Agreement with the infrastructure manager. Furthermore, operators must cross-reference their planned trajectories with official charts to verify if the area overlaps with Controlled Airspace (CTR); if a CTR conflict exists, obtaining an explicit flight authorization from ENAIRE or the responsible air traffic service provider is an absolute prerequisite alongside the mandatory facility agreement.
