It is home to the <strong>International Helicopter Training Centre (IHTC)<\/strong> Bundeswehr, where both national and international helicopter pilots are trained. Temporary airspace restrictions in the vicinity of the B\u00fcckeburg Army Airfield (ETHB) are frequently used for <strong>Intensive training sessions<\/strong>, <strong>Large-scale manoeuvres<\/strong> or <strong>special military air operations<\/strong> utilised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion: Clear planning and coordination are essential<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The temporary flight restriction area \"ED-R B\u00fcckeburg\" is an example of how military requirements can have a short-term impact on civil aviation. It is crucial for airspace safety that all parties involved - especially in general aviation - respect the restricted periods and adapt their activities accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pilots can find up-to-date information via:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>NOTAM briefings (DFS\/AIS)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Flight preparation apps such as SkyDemon, ForeFlight or VFRnav<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Frequency 123.300 MHz - B\u00dcCKEBURG RADAR<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This keeps the airspace safe - even in times of special military use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Source references:<\/strong><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eisenschmidt.aero\/nfl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NFL (the link requires a subscription to Eisenschmidt)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the course of planned military activities, the Federal Ministry of Transport has established a temporary flight restriction area in the Bremen flight information region with effect from 26 May 2025.
