A detailed airspace analysis for Helipuerto Santa María del Condado, located in the municipality of Vegas del Condado within the León province (Castilla y León), demonstrates the stringent operational limits mandated by Real Decreto 517/2024 and AESA safety policies. Drone flights inside this infrastructure's active aeronautical safety zone (servidumbres aeronáuticas) face an outright prohibition by default that takes effect right from the surface level (0 meters AGL) upward. Although a 2.5km radius surrounding the landing pad is commonly adopted by remote pilots as an acceptable reference value to estimate low-altitude flight hazards, any actual operation within this protected envelope requires lifting the restriction via a signed Operational Coordination Agreement with the facility's operator. Furthermore, operators must review regional charts to check for any overlap with Controlled Airspace (CTR); if the flight zone falls inside a CTR, a separate, formal authorization from ENAIRE or the responsible air traffic service provider is an absolute legal necessity alongside the infrastructure coordination.
