Airspace Advisory (Royal Sussex Hospital): Active emergency medical helicopter landing site from the surface upward. Extreme operator vigilance required for rapid air ambulance movements.


●● MEDICAL HELIPORT SAFETY ADVISORY // ROYAL SUSSEX HOSPITAL ●●

A localized lower-airspace safety caution has been recorded for this sector due to the presence of an active, high-priority emergency medical services (EMS) helicopter landing facility.

● FACILITY PROFILE -- Critical hospital heliport handling urgent helicopter emergency medical services (HEMS) and air ambulance assets. The landing pad structure sits at an elevation of 380ft AMSL (Above Mean Sea Level). ● VERTICAL RISK MATRIX -- Operational flight vectors are active continuously from the surface level upward, directly overlapping all standard drone cruising heights. ● TRAFFIC PROFILE -- Inbound and outbound emergency medical flights can occur at any time of the day or night without prior scheduled notice. Helicopters will be executing rapid, low-altitude approaches and climb-outs. ● OPERATOR PILOT DIRECTIVES -- Remote drone operators must preserve a continuous, flawless visual line of sight (VLOS). Actively monitor the skyward horizon and local audio environment for rotor noise. If an incoming or outgoing helicopter is detected, immediately, safely, and unconditionally land the drone or descend to ground level to yield complete right-of-way.
