As you know, the drone market is growing steadily worldwide, which is gradually becoming a problem because many air traffic controllers who fly their drones as a hobby are not as familiar with the regulations as they should be. On the other hand, it's also true that many companies operate these types of aircraft, so the Spanish State Aviation Safety Agency ( AESA ), under the Ministry of Public Works, has just announced that it is working on creating an application where anyone can check airspace restrictions on a specific day.
This application basically consists of an interactive map that includes all areas of national airspace, as well as the airfields where these types of aircraft are prohibited from flying. As Javier Fenol , Head of Aeronautical Information at Enaire, commented a few days ago:
It will be ready by 2017 and the goal is for drone users to be able to check on this map if the place where they want to fly their drone is allowed or not, depending on whether it is restricted airspace.
TO THAT
In accordance with current legislation in our country, please remember that the use of drones is prohibited in the vicinity of airports, within a radius that varies between 8 and 15 kilometers depending on the size of the airport. Furthermore, flying over urban areas and crowds of people is also prohibited. It has been reported that the Ministry of Public Works has decided to use technology from ESRI , one of the world's leading providers of interactive maps.
