Do you fly drones? Help us keep the skies safe!

Kallax Flyg AB would like to inform that they carry out helicopter missions in the area at different times during the year. The helicopters move at different heights and times depending on the weather and type of mission.

As helicopters often fly at low altitudes and have limited avoidance capabilities, unplanned encounters with drones can be fatal.

Are you going to fly drones? Remember that:

  • Always check airspace restrictions before take-off.
  • Maintain visual contact with your drone at all times.
  • Keep a safe distance from manned aircraft.
  • Make sure your flight does not interfere with ongoing missions.

Read up on the rules at the Swedish Transport Agency: www.transportstyrelsen.se/dronare.

If you have any questions, please contact Kallax Flyg on 0980-81 000 or info@kallaxflyg.se. Thank you for your consideration!
