+ The Aeródromo Nacional de Aviação (SBNV), commonly known as "Escolinha" or "Aeródromo Brigadeiro Eppinghaus," is located along the GO-070 highway in the Setor Novo Planalto region of Goiânia, Goiás. It serves as one of the largest and most vital general aviation, flight training, and aircraft maintenance hubs in Central-West Brazil, featuring over 100 hangares. The airfield supports intense daily visual (VFR) flight training, corporate executive operations, aircraft test flights following mechanical maintenance, and active parachuting/skydiving drops.
+ 
+ Because SBNV manages a continuous influx of low-altitude, light aircraft traffic executing training patterns, final approaches, and sudden touch-and-go maneuvers, uncoordinated drone activity inside its dynamic airspace presents an extreme safety hazard. A mid-air collision in this zone could result in a fatal accident or severely disrupt regional aviation infrastructure. Spontaneous or recreational drone flights within the airfield's operational perimeter, its traffic circuits, or its structural approach paths are completely illegal under federal law (Brazilian Penal Code, Art. 261).

+ Vale do Aço Regional Airport (SBIP), also known as Ipatinga Airport and located in the municipality of Santana do Paraíso, Minas Gerais, serves as the vital aviation hub for the heavily industrialized Vale do Aço metropolitan area (including Ipatinga, Timóteo, and Coronel Fabriciano). The airport handles frequent commercial passenger flights connecting the region to major national hubs like Belo Horizonte, alongside an intense volume of private corporate jets servicing local steel manufacturing giants, and time-critical medical evacuation missions.
+ 
+ Because the airport is situated in a unique valley topography flanked by hills and industrial infrastructure, arriving and departing aircraft execute low-altitude instrument (IFR) and visual (VFR) approaches directly over the surrounding urban-rural transition zones. Any uncoordinated drone activity within these strict approach paths or near the runway environment poses an immediate, catastrophic threat to human life and commercial aviation safety. Spontaneous or recreational drone flights within the airfield perimeter, its obstacle limitation surfaces, or its active traffic patterns are completely banned under federal law (Brazilian Penal Code, Art. 261).

+ The Port of Vila Velha, located near Rua Inácio Pessoa in the Ilha das Flores/Capuaba sector, is a high-security critical infrastructure asset and one of the primary commercial shipping hubs in the state of Espírito Santo. Operating within the narrow and busy Vitória Bay, this port handles intense international maritime trade, container logistics, specialized cargo loading, and federal customs operations.
+ 
+ Because the port facilities sit directly beneath the low-altitude approach paths for Vitória International Airport (SBVT) and are actively patrolled by military, federal police, and Brazilian Navy (Capitânia dos Portos) aircraft, uncoordinated drone activity is an immediate safety threat. Additionally, the physical environment presents high risks due to giant gantry cranes, high-voltage overhead lines, and large moving vessels. Spontaneous or recreational drone flights over the port terminals, docking ships, or the surrounding waters of Ilha das Flores are strictly banned under federal law (Brazilian Penal Code, Art. 261). Exceptional flights require advance coordination with both the terminal operator (Vports) and DECEA.

+ Lagoa de Jabaeté, located along Estrada Ayrton Senna in the Jabaeté region of Vila Velha, Espírito Santo, is an important local ecological wetland asset. While drone operations are legally permitted in this sector, the area borders developing residential neighborhoods, public roadways, and environmentally sensitive ecosystems, requiring responsible piloting.
+ 
+ Because this zone sits within the broader airspace dynamics of the Greater Vitória metropolitan area, drone pilots must verify local altitude limits before takeoff to remain well clear of occasional low-flying coastal patrol, military, or medical helicopters. To operate legally, pilots must maintain a minimum lateral safety distance of 30 meters from unconsented bystanders (unless utilizing a drone weighing under 250 grams) and must avoid flying directly over vehicular traffic on surrounding roads. Prior pilot and equipment registration on ANAC's SISANT system, a valid third-party liability insurance policy (RETA), and an approved flight plan submission through DECEA’s SARPAS NG portal are mandatory before operating.

+ The Christ the Redeemer Statue (Cristo Redentor), located atop Corcovado Mountain within the Tijuca National Park in Rio de Janeiro, is one of the most heavily restricted airspaces in Brazil. This landmark is situated directly in the path of continuous, high-frequency commercial scenic helicopter tours, emergency aeromedical routes, and environmental surveillance flights operating at exceptionally low altitudes.
+ 
+ Furthermore, the monument is a high-density tourist site hosting thousands of international visitors daily in a very confined space. Uncoordinated drone operations present a catastrophic hazard to both aviation safety and the physical integrity of the public. Flying a drone here without authorization is a federal offense under Article 261 of the Brazilian Penal Code.
+ 
+ To legally operate a drone in this sector, pilots cannot simply register a standard flight. They must secure a complex set of special, advance permits:
+ 
+ Formal authorization from ICMBio (Tijuca National Park administration) for environmental compliance.
+ 
+ Explicit permission from the Archdiocese of Rio de Janeiro (Sanctuary of Christ the Redeemer).

+ The Port of Manaus, located on Rua Taqueirinha in the Centro district, is a vital historical and logistical landmark in the Amazon. As the world's largest floating port, it acts as the primary hub for regional passenger transportation, major commercial shipping, and cargo distribution across the northern territory. Additionally, the waters surrounding the port serve as an active operating area for military patrol boats, federal security agencies, and occasional amphibious floatplanes.
+ 
+ Because the port is integrated into Manaus's dense historical downtown and sits beneath low-altitude flight corridors used by regional helicopters and aircraft, uncoordinated drone flights present a severe safety hazard. The high concentration of large passenger vessels, cargo cranes, and overhead utility lines further elevates the risk of property damage or injury. Spontaneous or recreational drone flights within the port perimeter, over docking vessels, or along the immediate Rio Negro shoreline are completely banned under federal law (Brazilian Penal Code, Art. 261).

+ Ibirapuera Park, located on Avenida Pedro Álvares Cabral in the Vila Mariana region of São Paulo, is one of the most visited urban parks in South America. While drone flights are legally permitted within the park's boundaries, the airspace is extremely complex and strictly monitored. The park is situated beneath high-density urban helicopter routes (REH) and sits within the wider airspace control sectors of Congonhas Airport (SBSP), meaning altitude ceilings here are very low and tightly controlled.
+ 
+ To operate a drone safely and legally over Ibirapuera Park, pilots must follow strict safety protocols. Flights directly over crowds are strictly forbidden. Under ANAC regulations, operators must maintain a minimum lateral safety distance of 30 meters from non-consented persons (unless the drone weighs less than 250 grams). Additionally, pilots must check the daily dynamic altitude limits on the airspace map to ensure they do not interfere with low-flying emergency or executive helicopters. Prior equipment registration on ANAC's SISANT, a valid third-party liability insurance policy (RETA), and a pre-approved flight request via DECEA's SARPAS NG portal are mandatory before taking off.

+ The airport is integrated directly within Macapá's core urban infrastructure, sitting adjacent to heavily populated residential zones, public avenues, and the Amazon River corridor. Because commercial airliners and cargo carriers execute precise instrument (IFR) and visual (VFR) approaches at low altitudes directly over these metropolitan sectors, uncoordinated drone activity creates an immediate risk of a catastrophic mid-air collision. Spontaneous or recreational drone flights within the airfield perimeter or its active urban traffic paths are completely banned under federal law (Brazilian Penal Code, Art. 261).

+ Santa Terezinha Airport (SSJA) is a regional airfield located in Joaçaba, Santa Catarina, situated along Rua Aloísio Nereng in the São Brás neighborhood. The airport is a vital infrastructure asset for the Mid-West region of the state, frequently handling private executive flights, corporate turboprops, government transport, and critical aeromedical evacuation missions serving local hospitals. It also accommodates operations from the local aeroclub, resulting in regular low-altitude pilot training maneuvers.
+ 
+ The airfield is built on a unique plateau topography directly adjacent to expanding residential areas and local valleys. Because arriving and departing aircraft must navigate specific, low-altitude visual (VFR) traffic patterns close to the terrain and urban infrastructure, any uncoordinated drone activity in this immediate vicinity presents an immediate threat to aviation safety. Spontaneous or recreational drone flights within the airfield perimeter or its active flight paths are completely banned under federal law (Brazilian Penal Code, Art. 261).

+ The airport is surrounded by industrial zones and expanding urban municipalities like Maia and Matosinhos. Because commercial airliners execute precise instrument arrivals (ILS) and departures at low altitudes directly over heavily populated residential areas, highways, and the Atlantic coastal corridors, any uncoordinated drone activity creates an immediate risk of a catastrophic aviation accident. Spontaneous or recreational drone flights within the airfield perimeter, its approach paths, or above the legal altitude limits set for continental Portugal are strictly illegal under European Union (EASA) and Portuguese regulations.
