Ausnahmegenehmigung für Luftraumnutzung beantragen

If you want to set off fireworks, you may need an air law permit and/or an air traffic control clearance. The same applies to the ascent of drones, weather balloons or kites, as well as the operation of lasers and skybeamers.

If you would like to launch fireworks or children's balloons at an event, such as a wedding, you may require an air law permit and/or air traffic control clearance. The same applies to the ascent of unpiloted self-propelled flying objects (e.g., model rockets), weather balloons, tethered balloons or kites, and the operation of lasers and skybeamers.

Unmanned Free Balloons/Weather Balloons:

Operation of an unmanned free balloon/weather balloon always requires a permit.

Lasers, Sky Beamers and Effect Lights:

Depending on location, orientation, and light intensity, a permit is required by aviation law for the operation of effect spotlights and optical light signaling devices if these devices could dazzle aircraft pilots during flight. At a distance of less than 1.5 kilometers from the boundary of airfields, they are generally prohibited if they could interfere with flight operations at an airfield. Lasers and spotlights that are only used indoors or if they are oriented flat to the ground and thus do not radiate into the airspace can be operated without a permit required by aviation law.

Unpiloted self-propelled missiles:

This includes, for example, model rockets, but also other missiles that cannot be controlled in the air. This use of airspace always requires a permit.

Climbing of kites and parasail kites:

Climbing kites and parasail kites if they are held by a rope longer than 100 meters requires permission.

Ascent of Fireworks:

The ascent of fireworks of category 2 (in the period from 02.01. to 30.12.) and categories 3, 4, P2 and T2 or at a distance of less than 1.5 kilometers from the perimeter of airfields iis prohibited. The locally competent aviation authority of the country may allow exceptions to the ban if the requested use of airspace does not pose a threat to public safety and order. "Category 2" includes fireworks that pose a minor hazard and are intended for use in confined outdoor areas. Regardless of the distance from an airfield, the ascent of fireworks requires a permit if they ascend more than 300 meters. The written application may be submitted informally and should be submitted at least two weeks before the planned ascent. Obtaining an exceptional permit in accordance with § 19 Para. 2 LuftVO or a permit in accordance with § 20 Para. 1 LuftVO must be carried out regardless of the required notification obligation for commercial firework ascents in accordance with § 23 1st Ordinance to the Explosives Act (1. SprengV) or obtaining a corresponding exceptional permit for private firework ascents of category F2 in accordance with § 24 1st SprengV.

The raising of sky lanterns is prohibited:

The rising of sky lanterns is prohibited in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania for reasons of fire protection according to the "Ordinance on the Prevention of Fires through the Use of Balloon-like Luminous Objects" of August 3, 2009. Sky lanterns are unmanned balloon-like flying objects in which the lift is generated by heating the air contained in the balloon body by means of a dedicated fire source using solid, liquid or gaseous fuels. An air permit cannot be issued due to the aforementioned prohibition.

If applicable, expert opinion on the suitability of the terrain and airspace. (LuftVO § 20 para. 3 )

Unmanned free balloons:

• Classification according to Annex 2 of the Implementing Regulation (EU) No. 923/2012 as well as calculation of area density.
• Consent of property owner (launch site)
• If applicable, additional information on the balloon (data sheets, manual, photos, etc.)
• insurance certificate according to § 37 Abs. 1a , § 43 LuftVG

Laser, Skybeamer and effect spotlight:

• Data sheet of the device

none

EUR 60,00 (§ 19 Exceptions to the prohibited use of airspace)

EUR 30,00 - 500,00 (§ 20 Use of airspace requiring permission)

For unpiloted self-propelled flying objects (for example, model rockets), lasers, sky beamers, kites, and parasailing kites, the written application is informal or can be submitted online.

5 days

Applications for the use of lasers, skybeamers, and effect lights should be submitted at least two weeks prior to the scheduled start of operation.

• Use of airspace requiring a permit
• Ascent of fireworks or similar Aircraft may require permission under aviation law and/or air traffic control clearance.
