Summary
Real Decreto 517/2024 strictly restricts drone operations from 0m AGL within a 2.5km safety zone around Helipuerto Hospital La Paz, located in Madrid, Comunidad de Madrid.
The Helipuerto Hospital La Paz is managed by the Servicio Madrileño de Salud (SERMAS) under the Comunidad de Madrid, with emergency coordination facilitated by ASEM 112.
Key Requirements & Restrictions
- Restrictions: Ground-up (0m AGL) airspace limits apply within the 2.5km safety radius of the helipad. This area is situated within the Madrid-Barajas CTR (Controlled Traffic Region) and potentially other associated airspaces (e.g., TMA), necessitating coordination with ENAIRE for any operation.
- Permission Steps: An 'Acuerdo de Coordinación Operativa' is mandatory. Contact the Servicio Madrileño de Salud (SERMAS) and ASEM 112 for operational coordination and specific site access protocols. ENAIRE must be consulted for airspace authorization.
- Requirements: Local ground access permits from Hospital Universitario La Paz security and the Ayuntamiento de Madrid are required for any ground operations or take-off/landing within hospital property or public land.
- Important Notes: This location is an active emergency medical services (EMS) helipad. Priority is always given to critical medical flights. No specific environmental constraints (e.g., ZEPA, Natura 2000) are directly associated with the immediate helipad operational zone, but urban noise regulations apply.
- Physical Hazards: Sudden, unannounced medical helicopter arrivals and departures are a constant operational hazard. The dense urban environment presents numerous obstacles, including tall hospital buildings, adjacent high-rise structures, power lines, and potential electromagnetic interference from hospital medical equipment and communication systems. Strong and unpredictable wind currents can occur due to building wake turbulence.
