The only segregated airspace for UAS testing in Romania, located at Banat Airport Caransebes

Airport Information — LRCS/CSB

Private

The airport and the testing facility are fully private. This is a big advantage as any decisions can be taken very quickly and testing can begin in a few days after signing of the contract.

Authorized

The airport itself is authorized by the Romanian Civil Aviation Authority (RCAA) as a public airport and can close the airspace on-demand by issuing NOTAMs when testing is performed. The segregated airspace is also authorized by the Romanian Air Traffic Services Administration (ROMATSA).

Area, Runway & Taxiways

Total area of the facility is 200 hectares.
Current runway has a length of 2.000 meters and a width of 45 meters with a load capacity of 70 tons. There are 3 taxiways with 15 meters in width that connect the runway with the apron where the hangars are.

Location

The airport and testing facility are located in the western part of Romania, in the city of Caransebes. This is advantageous from two perspectives:
Behind the Carpathian Mountains
Close to A1 highway

Testing Services

Segregated Airspace

Cage

Cage testing for UAS that are not ready to be tested at high altitudes. This testing method is useful for testing basic controls and manoeuvrability.
Cage testing is done in a hangar with 5 meters high ceiling and an area of 1.200 square meters.

VLOS

Visual Line of Sight testing is for systems that are ready for flight and need to start testing at higher speeds.
VLOS testing can be done on the whole surface of the airport of 200 hectares and to a ceiling of 390ft. This ceiling can be extended with prior request.

BVLOS
