Drones are becoming increasingly popular. However, the more drones take off, the greater the risk of collisions, crashes or accidents. In cities like Wiesbaden, the legal operation of drones as a leisure activity is hardly possible. Flying is either prohibited or only possible with special private or official permits. You must also always register drone flights in and around Wiesbaden with the US airfield in Erbenheim.

The processing of ascent requests can take more or less time depending on the effort involved. The Wiesbaden Army Airfield Air Traffic and Airspace Officers need at least three working days to process your request. The processing of requests at short notice cannot be guaranteed.

The Press Office will help you quickly and unbureaucratically if you need a permit to fly drones in the city of Wiesbaden. As an interface, the Press Office is happy to coordinate with the various responsible administrative offices. The general responsibility lies with the General Regulatory Authority.
