⬢⬢ AERODROME OPERATIONAL BULLETIN // EGMD LYDD ⬢⬢
A localized lower-airspace safety advisory is active for this sector due to its proximity to Lydd Airport (London Ashford Airport), an active international aerodrome supporting complex aviation operations.
⬢ AIRSPACE CONTEXT -- Operations are centered around Lydd Airport (EGMD), which hosts a mix of commercial passenger flights, business jets, heavy general aviation, and regular search and rescue (SAR) helicopter movements. ⬢ HAZARD PROFILE -- Heightened risk of encountering high-speed and low-altitude crewed aircraft operating continuously from the surface level upward, directly overlapping standard unmanned flight corridors. ⬢ FLIGHT DYNAMICS -- Crewed aircraft will be actively executing low-visibility instrument approaches, standard airfield traffic circuits, or low-level helicopter transit profiles within this sector. ⬢ PILOT DIRECTIVES -- Remote drone operators must preserve a continuous, completely uninterrupted visual line of sight (VLOS) with their aircraft. Constantly scan the surrounding horizon, listen for engine noise or rotor acoustic cues, and yield absolute right-of-way immediately and unconditionally to all crewed flight vectors.
