Since January I am trying to find out if it is legal to launch a ballon in the way I want. The German law says it is allowed for kites up to 100 meters but with captive balloons on a fixed rope only up to 30 meters. I think my small balloon is more like a kite but unforgently no one wants to approve that. I wrote to the DFS “Deutsche Flugsicherung” who are responsible for whole Germany. The DFS forwarded me to mwvlw.rlp.de because I am in Rheinland-Pfalz but those send me back to DFS. So I wrote DFS again and explained they created a loop.
Now after 2,5 month I got an anwser. Guess what? They are writing that they are really not responsible.
Even if that is true, why did they need 2,5 month to find that out…
Hi Pi!
maybe both DFS and mwvlw are right.
You might want to contact http://www.lbm.rlp.de (Über Uns -> Aufgaben -> Luftverkehr -> Erlaubnisse). At least, they say that they are responsible for such permissions.
Maybe I also have some other useful Information for you, please write me an E-Mail before contacting lbm…
See you
