Airspace Large
Civil R/TSA-Areas
Overview
AIRlabs Austria’s operational level 4 comprises large test flight areas in civil R/TSA areas and enables flight tests of unmanned aerial systems under complex conditions such as in alpine terrain.
In close cooperation with the national aviation authority Austro Control, the Federal Ministry for Climate Protection, Environment, Energy, Mobility, Innovation and Technology (BMK) and the Austrian Research Promotion Agency FFG, innovative developments and applications of drones in Austria are being tested in the various airspace restriction areas of AIRlabs.
The AIRlabs test areas enable ideal specific conditions for drone flight tests in a protected environment with reduced ground and air risk. Through successful flight tests, AIRlabs Austria plays a leading role in testing innovative and sustainable drone technologies for the general public.
Below you will find an overview of our large airspace restriction areas that serve as testing grounds for innovative drone applications.
The drone test flight area LO-R 9 is located at Steinalpl an der Mürz in Styria. For reference, take a look at the map below:
Facts and Figures
- 102 km² area in the Mürzsteg Alps
- permitted flight altitude: GND – 7500 ft AMSL
- Relatively high flight altitudes, e.g. altitude tests possible
- Mountain range with the highest elevation at 1862 m above sea level
- Test in alpine weather conditions (remote region for testing mobile communications, long distances possible for BVLOS)
- Mostly forested and uninhabited
The drone test flight area LO-R 11 is located in Upper Austria near Sankt Johann am Walde. For reference, take a look at the map below:
Facts and Figures
