Drone Rules for Heliporto Municipal de Grândola
All open-category drone flights are prohibited within the low-altitude airspace surrounding the Heliporto Municipal de Grândola in the city of Grândola, Setúbal district. This safety corridor ensures that emergency response and civilian helicopters can execute local flight maneuvers without airborne interference.
An aeronautical evaluation of the Alentejo region surrounding the Heliporto Municipal de Grândola underscores its strategic importance for municipal transport and civil protection operations in the city of Grândola, situated within the Setúbal district. This municipal helipad facilitates essential regional logistics, environmental surveillance, and emergency medical flights that rely heavily on safe, unhindered low-altitude flight paths. Because uncoordinated unmanned aerial activity within this operational zone poses an immediate collision risk to manned aviation crews, strict safety boundaries are actively enforced. In compliance with Portuguese Decree-Law under Regulamento 1093/2016, all open-category drone operations are completely prohibited within the safe radius of this facility, meaning flights can only legally proceed with explicit, prior authorization from ANAC.
