The restricted flight zone is called \"ED-R Klixb\u00fcll\"<\/strong> and lies in the Flight Information Region (FIR) Bremen<\/strong>in the immediate vicinity of the Danish border and west of Flensburg. The exact position is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n This altitude separation affects the lower airspace - primarily the area in which general aviation visual flights and drone and model aircraft traffic operate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The flight restriction applies from:<\/p>\n\n\n\n This means that the zone has been active for more than eight months - an unusually long period for an ED-R area that was not activated for military reasons. The extended period emphasises the importance and durability of the project behind it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The reason for the establishment of the ED-R zone is an ongoing Research project<\/strong>which, in conjunction with the Company SkySails Power GmbH<\/strong> stands for. SkySails is known for innovative technologies for the generation of Wind energy from autonomous towing kites (kites)<\/strong>that convert high-altitude wind into electrical energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These kites often rise several hundred metres into the sky and fly dynamic cycles - a potential danger for any air traffic in the immediate vicinity. A safety-relevant shelter is therefore required to prevent collisions or interference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In principle, a Flight ban<\/strong> for all aircraft<\/strong>including unmanned aircraft - with a few exceptions. Permitted flight movements are<\/p>\n\n\n\n But even these authorised flights are subject to strict conditions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Spontaneous transit is therefore not possible even for privileged user groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The new ED-R zone is integrated into the daily updated NOTAMs<\/strong> and in digital VFR and IFR flight planning tools<\/strong> such as SkyDemon, ForeFlight, Garmin Pilot or the DFS AIS portal. Due to its small lateral extension, it can easily be overlooked during short cross-country flights. Therefore:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are flying by sight, you should avoid the zone over a wide area to avoid unintentional intrusion due to navigational inaccuracies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The temporary exclusion zone \"ED-R Klixb\u00fcll\" may be small in size, but it is strictly regulated by law and technically safety-critical. Its establishment demonstrates how innovative energy generation projects place the same demands on airspace as conventional aircraft. For pilots, it is another example of why Careful flight preparation, up-to-date maps and precise route planning<\/strong> are essential - even for supposedly simple regional flights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want to be on the safe side, plan a small arc - and maintain radio contact in case of uncertainty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
