More and more mountainers want to capture their adventure with GoPros and drones. In particular, recordings with drones are increasingly becoming a threat to mountain rescue with helicopters. For this reason, the rescue organization La Chamoniarde publishes a video that draws attention to the danger of drones for rescue helicopters.
Drone users are requested to use their flying objects in the mountains with reserve and to immediately land them in the event of air traffic from rescue helicopters. In this context, we would like to refer you to general information on the use of drones, which can be found on the websites of the respective Federal Offices for Civil Aviation:
- Federal Office of Civil Aviation Switzerland
- Federal Office for Transport and Digital Infrastructure Germany
- Federal Ministry of Transport, Innovation and Technology Austria
