Drone Rules for Local de aterragem de helicópteros de Ourique
All open-category unmanned operations are strictly barred around the Heliporto Municipal de Ourique to guarantee unobstructed low-altitude flight paths for emergency civil protection aircraft operating in the town of Ourique and across the Beja district.
A targeted geospatial assessment of the tactical airspace surrounding the Heliporto Municipal de Ourique highlights its crucial role as an active emergency response hub and Centro de Meios Aéreos within the town of Ourique, situated inside the Beja district. This specialized facility hosts rapid-deployment aerial firefighting assets, including light and medium helicopters tasked with executing swift initial attacks on rural wildfires. Because these critical civil protection missions require instantaneous takeoffs and complex, low-altitude maneuvering over the regional landscape, any uncoordinated drone presence creates severe mid-air collision hazards for flight crews. Consequently, in strict compliance with Portuguese Decree-Law under Regulamento 1093/2016, all open-category drone operations are entirely prohibited within the infrastructure's safety radius, and flights can only legally proceed with explicit, prior authorization granted by ANAC.
