Unmanned aircraft(Drone)

”Unmanned aircraft(Drone)

Generally, in order to handle and use an unmanned aircraft/drone a permit from the Swedish Transport Agency is required. Furthermore, to avoid flying too close to Sundsvall Timrå Airport protected property, a special permit from the airport operations is always required on each individual occasion for all flights closer than 5 km from any part of the runway regardless if Aerodrome Control Tower (TWR) service is open or closed. The airport special permit to access the protected property airspace can be requested at least two working days in advance via e-mail to info@sdlairport.se.

For all unmanned aircraft/drone flights within Sundsvall Control Zone (CTR) we strongly urge you to register your flight details in advance in the Dronerequest Application which is available for Apple and Android smartphones, regardless if the Aerodrome Control Tower (TWR) is open or closed when the flight is planned to take place. This is to facilitate the possibility for TWR to contact operators with active unmanned aircraft/drone flights in case it is needed for TWR operations outside published Aerodrome Control Tower (TWR) service hours of operation.

During published Aerodrome Control Tower (TWR) service hours of operation, if the flight is planned within Sundsvall Control Zone (CTR) closer than 5 km from any part of the runway, or further away higher than 50 m off the ground, an ATC clearance is also needed beforehand. Please consult the LFV Dronechart to see if that is the case for your planned unmanned/drone flight by following this link;

If an ATC clearance is required according to the LFV Dronechart, you have to register your planned unmanned aircraft/drone flight in advance in Dronerequest. Then proceed to contact the Air Traffic Control tower by telephone +46 60 64 62 07 roughly 30 minutes prior to the planned flight, this is mandatory regardless of published Aerodrome Control Tower (TWR) service hours of operation. If the call is unsuccessful, try calling the Watch Supervisor for ATCC Stockholm at +46 8 585 547 00 to learn if the Aerodrome Control Tower (TWR) service is open or closed. If the tower is closed, no ATC clearance is required.

If you have any local questions, please contact air traffic control at: ats.sundsvall@saabgroup.com or by phone +46 60 64 62 07.
