Errichtung temporärer Luftfahrthindernisse

§§ 12, 17, 18a LuftVG

Construction equipment and other temporary objects can represent an obstacle to aviation due to their height and location. Such obstacles to aviation require approval under aviation law. If you require a building permit for the construction of a building, you do not have to apply separately for an aviation permit for the building. The building authority will involve the aviation authority as part of the building permit procedure.

Approval or authorization under aviation law is required for obstacles in the following cases:

• Generally from a height of 100 meters above ground level
• on natural or artificial ground elevations from a height of 30 meters above ground level
• in the construction protection areas of airfields (with different height levels)

Approval or authorization for aviation obstacles may be subject to conditions. Possible conditions may include height restrictions on aviation obstacles or day and night markings.

Temporary obstacles, such as cranes, must be marked in yellow, red or orange or by flags or warning signs. Aviation obstacles are marked at night by red obstacle lights (steady) and/or hazard lights (flashing).

• Data sheet for each tower crane, mobile crane, folding crane and/or construction equipment
• Overview site plan
• Site plan
• Coordinates
• Construction site plan

None

You must apply for the aviation permit in writing or online from the competent authority.

Two technical reports are usually required in the approval procedure. Additional costs are incurred for this, which are to be paid directly by the applicant.

• Construction equipment, e.g. cranes or concrete pumps, may be subject to approval under aviation law.
• Approval under aviation law required for:
  • Height from 100 meters above ground
  • In the construction protection area of airfields

Informal application possible: Yes
