Drone Rules for Helipuerto de Fuentidueña de Tajo

This helipad functions as a high-readiness emergency platform used by SUMMA 112 medical helicopters responding to high-speed traffic accidents on the nearby A-3 highway and seasonal Plan INFOMA airborne firefighting crews protecting the southeastern border of the Madrid region.

Airspace Restrictions

• The default prohibition controls the airspace from 0 meters AGL up to safeguard rapid medical and helitack takeoffs.
• The local airspace is situated beneath the outer horizontal boundaries of the Madrid Terminal Control Area (TMA), requiring strict adherence to ENAIRE digital charts for surrounding general aviation corridors.
• Pilots must establish a formal Operational Coordination Agreement with the Agencia de Seguridad y Emergencias Madrid (ASEM 112) before attempting any flight within the active radius.

Ground & Property Rules

• The launch area sits close to the Tajo river basin, which is designated under the European Red Natura 2000 network, meaning any drone flight requires environmental authorization from the regional Consejería de Medio Ambiente to ensure no disruption to local nesting avifauna.
• Ground access and physical takeoffs from municipal land require a separate local permit from the Fuentidueña de Tajo town hall, independent of civil aviation clearances.
• High-voltage power transmission lines running parallel to the autovía and severe wind gusts lifting off the wide, open agricultural fields present significant physical hazards to multirotor stability and telemetry.
