Drone Rules for Helipuerto de Hoyos
Pursuant to Real Decreto 517/2024, drone flights within the protected safety zone of Helipuerto de Hoyos in the province of Cáceres (Extremadura) are completely prohibited from the surface level up unless a formal operational coordination agreement is signed with the infrastructure manager.
Evaluating the airspace configuration around Helipuerto de Hoyos, situated in the municipality of Hoyos within the Cáceres province (Extremadura), reveals the strict prohibitory boundaries dictated by Real Decreto 517/2024. All UAS operations face a default ban within this facility's active aeronautical safety zone (servidumbres aeronáuticas), a restriction that mandates a complete zero-tolerance flight prohibition stretching from the surface level (0 meters AGL) upward. For localized risk mapping, remote pilots traditionally use a 2.5km radius surrounding the helipad as an acceptable reference baseline to isolate potential low-altitude traffic hazards. Bypassing this default prohibition to fly inside the protective envelope requires executing a formal, signed Operational Coordination Agreement directly with the infrastructure manager. Additionally, operators must consult current aeronautical maps to verify if the area falls inside Controlled Airspace (CTR), since any such overlap demands a separate, formal flight authorization from ENAIRE or the local air traffic service provider in conjunction with the facility agreement.
