Residential areas under the Off-Airport Landing Ordinance (AuLaV)
Residential areas are defined in Article 2f of the Off-Airport Landing Ordinance (AuLaV; SR 748.132.3). Residential areas are defined as urban areas or groups of at least ten inhabited buildings, including the area within a radius of 100 metres. Landing in residential areas is prohibited for the following purposes:
<ul>
<li>Passenger transport for tourist or leisure purposes (Art. 25b AuLaV),</li>
<li>Non-commercial flights (Art. 32b AuLaV),</li>
<li>Training flights (Art. 34b AuLaV).</li>
</ul>
Off-Airport landings in residential areas for aerial work purposes must be agreed upon in advance with the competent authority under cantonal law (Art. 31 AuLaV).

The ARE's "housing estate" dataset forms the basis for identifying and presenting "residential areas" and is updated annually.
