Are you a drone pilot? Do you already have your airband walkie?

Drone's pilot

As you should know, drone flight is controlled and subject to different regulations. To pilot a drone with a camera, you have to meet several requirements that are explained on the website of the Spanish State Aviation Safety Agency.

Regarding radio communications, we want to highlight the obligation to communicate with an aeronautical station when we operate in the flight information zone (FIZ). To fly in controlled areas, we have to request prior authorization and then be in radio contact with the airports and aerodromes. For this, we need an airband walkie such as:

Yaesu FTA-250L walkie banda aérea Yaesu FTA-250L: portable VHF transceiver for airbandcompact and affordable
Yaesu FTA-450L walkie banda aérea Yaesu FTA-450L: Airband VHF walkie, robust, with a big LCD display and the exclusive menu system E2O Easy To Operate from Yaesu.

 

With what frequencies do we have to communicate in each zone? Here we leave you a list of the frequencies used by the main aerodromes, heliports and control centers in Spain.
