Summary
Operations within the 2.5km safety zone of Heliportua • Ondarru, located in Ondarroa, Biscay, Basque Country, are restricted from 0m AGL under Real Decreto 517/2024, mandating operational coordination agreements.
Key Requirements & Restrictions
- Restrictions: Operations are prohibited from ground level (0m AGL) within a 2.5km radius of Heliportua • Ondarru. This restriction aligns with standard aeronautical servitudes to prevent interference with helicopter approach and departure paths. Interaction with any established Controlled Airspace (CTR) or Terminal Maneuvering Area (TMA) must be meticulously coordinated.
- Permission Steps: To obtain the mandatory Operational Coordination Agreement (Acuerdo de Coordinación Operativa), drone operators must contact the regional health service responsible for emergency medical services. Given the location in the Basque Country, this would likely be the Servicio Vasco de Salud - Osakidetza, specifically its air medical coordination unit. Direct consultation with the helipad operator (likely Osakidetza or a designated regional health authority) is the primary step.
- Requirements: Beyond national aviation law, local ground operational permissions may be required from the Ondarroa Town Hall (Ayuntamiento de Ondarroa) regarding land use and potential noise regulations. Access to the helipad facility itself would necessitate explicit permission from the facility manager (Osakidetza).
- Important Notes: While not explicitly stated for this specific helipad, operators should always verify if the surrounding area falls under any Special Protection Areas for Birds (ZEPA) or Natura 2000 network sites, which may impose additional environmental flight restrictions.
- Physical Hazards: The coastal topography near Ondarroa may present localized wind shear or gusting conditions. Proximity to urban areas could also introduce risks of electromagnetic interference affecting drone control links. A thorough pre-flight assessment of potential obstacles like power lines or maritime structures is essential.
