Firstly, please be assured that Swansea Airport like to help our drone flying colleagues where we possibly can!
You are likely aware of the map adjacent, the purple rectangles show the Runway Protection Zones, the purple circle is the Flight Restriction Zone (FRZ), and the red circle is the Parachuting Protection Zone. We ask all drone operators operating in the vicinity of the aerodrome please let us know with as much notice as possible via email with the following information:
We will then reply with any operational considerations, and if required approve/decline flight if it is within the FRZ or RPZs. We are not in the habit of declining, so please email us. After this, all we ask is, on the day, you call us in tower on 01792 687042, twenty minutes prior to launch, so we can give you any operational updates, and also broadcast a warning on our frequency to any aircraft.
PARACHUTING
Parachuting tends to take place Friday - Sunday from Spring - Winter, this can involve free fall descents from 15,000' AMSL, we would recommend avoiding these times due to the requirement to ensure the safety of descending skydivers.
