Summary

Mountain Border Aerodrome Exclusion Policy. Unmanned aerial vehicle operations near the airport perimeter and helipad are forbidden. Regional medical and border patrol helicopters depend on clear low-altitude flight paths daily. Local law enforcement officers monitor the perimeter to prevent unapproved drone activity.

Drones are prohibited within five kilometers of the airstrip unless special government permission is granted. Emergency services land regularly at the airport helipad to transfer patients from remote mountain clinics. Violators will have their equipment confiscated and face administrative fines under civil aviation codes.
