As mentioned in the article in Pilot magazine 3/2026, many municipalities and investors in the Czech Republic are interested in building wind power plants (WP). Studies conducted on wind power plants show that the range of turbulence created by a WP can be up to nine times the diameter of its autogyro.
If the wind farm has an impact on the area within 5 km of the airport, a safety study is required that takes into account the airport operation, all in cooperation with the airport operator. In the case of an application for the location of a wind farm in the protective zones of the airport, the Office will issue a positive opinion only based on the consent of the airport operator.
However, the location of wind turbines near takeoff and landing sites and airfields is not addressed in this way by legislation. Therefore, the LAA of the Czech Republic provides a list of locations where wind turbine construction is requested so that operators of airfields and airfields can find out whether wind turbine construction is planned in their vicinity and thus have the opportunity to comment on the process.
The map below focuses on wind farms, which create a height obstacle for sport flying.
Wind power plants already operational are shown in red, as on the LAA Czech Republic maps.
Locations for which construction applications exist are shown in orange.
The orange-marked locations are generated from two lists. The first list contains applications for the construction of VEs with which the Civil Aviation Authority was approached in 2025 (the list is closed and will not be changed). The second list starts on 1 January 2026 and is continuously updated according to newly received information.
We urge all operators of SFD areas and launch sites to check with the local authorities whether a wind farm is planned to be built near their aviation interest.
