Possible aerodromes

Aerodromes and heliports, if any, are defined as follows:

• Law 48/1960 on Air Navigation: "An aerodrome will be temporary when its establishment is due to transitory needs or when it is designated for a particular use in special circumstances".
• Royal Decree 1189/2011: "area suitable for use by aircraft which, in the opinion of the operator, meets the minimum conditions for the safety of operations and whose use, except in the case of the operations referred to in Article 1.2, does not exceed 40 operations per year, without exceeding 15 per month".

The authorisation for the use of temporary aerodromes is laid down in Article 16 of RD 1189/2011.. 

Prior to the authorisation of the use of temporary regional aerodromes, including temporary heliports, the interested party shall submit the application to the competent body in his or her autonomous community.
In the event that the aerodrome is located within a controlled, restricted or hazardous area, or within the area affected by another aeronautical infrastructure, the compatibility report or certificate shall be requested through the Directorate General of Civil Aviation. 

The exclusion of eventual aerodromes from the scope of application of Royal Decree 1070/2015, Article 2, does not exempt the operator from the duty to have the relevant authorisations in accordance with the applicable regulations and with the permission of the owner of the surface. Non-compliance with the applicable regulations, non-observance of flight limitations according to airspace or any other air regulations related to the use of an eventual surface may constitute an infringement of Law 21/2003 on air safety, which may lead to penalties and other measures in accordance with Title V of the aforementioned law.
