INFO FLUGBETRIEB
Das Wiesbaden Army Airfield (WAAF), auch bekannt als Flugplatz Erbenheim, wird seit den 1970er Jahren von der US Army betrieben. Hier befindet sich die Standortverwaltung der US Army Garnison Wiesbaden. Der militärische Auftrag der Luftfahrzeugflotte, die vom 1-214. Aviation Regiment verwaltet wird, ist in erster Linie der Passagiertransport. Das 1-214. Aviation Regiment hat unterschiedliche Missionen, wozu auch die Unterstützung von Aktivitäten in ganz Europa gehört.
Ca. 20-40 Prozent der jährlichen Flugbewegungen sind Transitflüge, die den vom Flugplatz Wiesbaden-Erbenheim kontrollierten Luftraum passiert haben. Dazu zählen u.a. Notfallflüge zum Transport von Patienten in umliegende Krankenhäuser, Kontrollflüge privater Unternehmen zur Prüfung von Gleisen oder Oberleitungen, Polizei- und ADAC-Flüge zur Verkehrsüberwachung etc.
DROHNENANFRAGEN
Der Luftraum des Wiesbaden Army Airfields, auch Class D Luftraum genannt, erstreckt sich senkrecht vom Boden bis auf ca. 450 Meter über dem Meeresspiegel. Horizontal erstreckt sich der Class D Luftraum über einen großen Teil Wiesbadens und den nördlichen Teil von Mainz.
Die Deutsche Flugsicherung hat hierzu eine App entwickelt, die Drohnenbetreibern hilft, genau zu bestimmen, wie und wo der geplante Aufstieg angemeldet werden muss.

SUMMER NIGHT FLIGHT PROGRAM
Our flight routes have been carefully selected and adapted and we fly – as long as military requirements allow it – largely during the day. However, our flight crews must comply with performance and competence standards in some low-level and night flight training and are therefore allowed to fly until midnight on any German working day (excluding German holidays). However, during the months of May to August, landings are allowed after midnight, but not after 2 am. Specific days on which these flights appear are part of our Summer Night Flight Program (SNFP), which was developed in cooperation with the German authorities.
