Drone Rules for Helipuerto Morata de Tajuña MD23 (Bomberos Comunidad de Madrid)
Open-category drone flights are strictly prohibited within the low-altitude airspace surrounding the Helipuerto Morata de Tajuña (MD23) in the municipality of Morata de Tajuña, Madrid, ensuring entirely clear approach corridors for critical aerial firefighting and emergency response helicopters.
A tactical airspace evaluation surrounding the Helipuerto Morata de Tajuña MD23 highlights its vital role as a strategic aerial firefighting base and emergency deployment node in the municipality of Morata de Tajuña, situated within the Comunidad de Madrid. Operated in coordination with the regional government's emergency services, this specialized facility serves as a primary operations base for the regional Cuerpo de Bomberos and helitransported brigades mobilized under the INFOMA plan to combat forest fires. Because these critical public safety operations demand instantaneous scrambling, logistical agility, and intense low-altitude maneuvering over local forest and rural terrain, any uncoordinated unmanned aircraft presence creates immediate mid-air collision hazards for emergency flight crews. In strict compliance with Spanish civil aviation mandates overseen by AESA (Agencia Estatal de Seguridad Aérea) and national Royal Decrees, all open-category drone operations are strictly prohibited within this facility's safety perimeter, meaning flights can only legally proceed under explicit coordination and prior authorization.
