## Airspace Requirements
* All UAS and drone operations within this designated 2-nautical-mile circular boundary are subject to strict prior permission requirements from the site operator. 
* Recreational drone flights are heavily restricted due to the constant, unpredictable nature of emergency Helicopter Emergency Medical Services (HEMS) transiting the area.

## Operational Safety Protocols
* Commercial or authorized operators must establish direct communication with the Hull Royal Infirmary security desk or aviation manager before takeoff.
* Pilots must be prepared to immediately land or yield right-of-way to any incoming or outgoing medical helicopters, maintaining a zero-altitude profile if an aircraft is detected.

## Emergency HEMS Priority
* This restriction zone protects low-altitude flight paths used by the Yorkshire Air Ambulance and other emergency medical assets. 
* Absolutely no drone flight may conflict with active medical evacuation or urgent organ transport operations.

## Sources
* Airspace boundaries aligned with official UK NATS aeronautical charts and Civil Aviation Authority (UK CAA) safety guidance for emergency medical landing sites.
