Dear Valtteri,

You don’t need to apply for separate aviation permit to construct temporary wind measurement masts. All aviation related requirements will be given during the processing of the general design and building permit application. I hope you are familiar with this process (https://www.eesti.ee/en/housing-and-environment/finding-a-place-to-live/construction , Building Code - https://www.riigiteataja.ee/en/eli/ee/502022017002/consolide/current )

When you are applying permit from local authority, they will forward your request to us (Transport Administration) for terms and conditions and approval. The conditions given by Transport Administration will be added to the general design, building etc. permit given by local authority.

You can find general Aviation related requirements for  construction works which height exceeds 45 m from Aviation Act § 35  (https://www.riigiteataja.ee/en/eli/ee/Riigikogu/act/519082024014/consolide ).

We do not have national regulation for obstacle lighting, we will give conditions for lightning based on ICAO requirements.

Like in Finland there will be also a requirement on the permit to inform us about the erection of a mast.

I hope this information is helpful.

Hi,

We are planning to construct temporary wind measurement masts in our planned wind farm development areas in Estonia.

We would like to know:

a) What kind of aviation permits are required for max. 150 m high masts in Estonia?

b) What other permits are required by Estonian regulations for max. 150 m masts?

c) Where can Estonian flight obstacle light regulations be found from?

d) Are there any specific Estonian regulations/instructions prepared for wind farms relating to aviation?

I would appreciate if you could provide me with information on the above, and if this is not the right source for such information, please let me know where I could possibly find such information.

For reference: in Finland, a flight obstacle permit from Finnish Transport and Communications Agency (Traficom) and a separate statement from the defence forces is required. Also, Fintraffic must be informed about the erection and dismantling of a mast.

Best regards,

Valtteri Paunonen
