Police Helicopter Night Flight Training Causes Temporary Noise Disturbances
Residents in certain regions can expect increased helicopter activity and potential noise disturbances from Monday to Thursday evenings between 6:00 PM and 10:00 PM. This is due to mandatory night flight training for police helicopter pilots, set to take place from October 6 to December 19, 2025, at the aviation school in Sankt Augustin-Hangelar.
The Federal Police Aviation Group, based in Sankt Augustin, operates 93 helicopters. These support various federal and state authorities. The upcoming training is crucial for pilot licensing and ensures safe nighttime operations. Residents are advised that these flights are part of the training schedule and are not emergency operations.
The Federal Police appreciates the understanding and cooperation of residents during this training phase. For further information or queries regarding the night flight training, it is recommended to consult updated official publications from the Federal Police, as the current director of Federal Police Directorate 11 could not be listed in publicly available sources.
From October 6 to December 19, 2025, increased helicopter activity and potential noise disturbances can be expected in certain regions during evening hours on weekdays. This is due to mandatory night flight training for police helicopter pilots. The Federal Police thanks residents for their understanding and cooperation during this period.
