[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Sharon] It was announced on the 18th that the 'Gimhae City Drone Practice Field,' the first drone practice field operated by a local government in the Gyeongnam region, will open on the 23rd.

Gimhae City has created a practice field in Ttanseom Ecological Nuri Park, Saengnim-myeon, with an area of 9,900㎡, which is 1.4 times the size of a soccer field, capable of flying 15 drones simultaneously to foster and popularize the drone industry.

The area is considered optimal for drone practice as there are no nearby residential houses or obstructive facilities, and it is a non-controlled airspace where aviation safety laws do not apply, allowing drones under 12kg to fly up to 150m in height without separate notification or permission procedures.

The operation hours are from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, with closure every Monday.

A city official said, "We will do our best in operation and management to serve as a catalyst for fostering the drone industry and activating drone culture."
