The following information intended for members of the LAA CR is based on the Preliminary Communication of the Customs Administration pursuant to Act 500/2004 Coll., Administrative Code Section 154, on the intention to construct wind power plants.
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 SFD areas is not addressed in this way by legislation. Therefore, the LAA CR provides this information so that operators of flight terrains and SFD areas can find out whether the construction of wind turbines is planned in their vicinity and thus have the opportunity to comment on the process.
The map below focuses on wind farms that create, or could create in the future, a height obstacle for sport flying.
Wind power plants already operational are shown in red, as on the LAA Czech Republic maps.
Places for which a "Preliminary Notice to the Customs Administration" exists are shown in orange.
The locations marked in orange are generated based on data obtained from the Czech Customs Office.
Disclaimer: By publishing preliminary announcements of the Office of the Environment and Climate Change (ÚCL) regarding wind farm construction plans, the LAA ČR bears no responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or timeliness of the information provided or for any consequences arising from its use. The information is solely for informational purposes for the needs of LAA ČR members and does not replace data from land-use planning documentation or from the official bulletin board of locally competent authorities.
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.
