Drone Rules for Helipuerto O Barco
UAS flights in the immediate airspace surrounding Helipuerto O Barco, situated in the province of Ourense (Galicia), fall under strict regulatory compliance according to Real Decreto 517/2024, demanding mandatory prior coordination with the facility's operator.
Conducting drone operations around Helipuerto O Barco necessitates rigorous adherence to the structural safety frameworks enforced by Real Decreto 517/2024 and AESA guidelines. Located within the municipality of O Barco de Valdeorras in the Ourense province of Galicia, this aviation infrastructure possesses active aeronautical safety zones (servidumbres aeronáuticas) designed to isolate low-flying aircraft from conflicts. Within Spanish civil aviation regulatory boundaries, a 2.5km radius buffer zone is systematically applied around heliports to preserve visual approach and departure funnels. Any remote pilot targeting an operation inside this 2.5km envelope is legally required to establish direct communication and secure coordination with the facility's management entity. Additionally, because regional airspace classifications vary, operators must verify if their intended operational volume conflicts with Controlled Airspace (CTR); if an overlap occurs, securing explicit flight authorization from ENAIRE or the designated air traffic service provider remains an absolute necessity alongside the infrastructure coordination.
