The National Civil Aviation Institute maintains a zero-tolerance exclusion zone across all airspace surrounding Namibe Airport. Emergency healthcare and search-and-rescue helicopters rely on clear approach paths along the Atlantic coastline. Operating an unapproved drone in this restricted coastal zone directly endangers the safety of low-flying flight crews. Perimeter security forces utilize detection systems to identify unauthorized remote control signals around Namibe Airport. Violators face immediate detention, severe monetary penalties, and permanent confiscation of all flying equipment. Exemptions are strictly limited to state-authorized environmental and coastal surveillance operations holding written permits.
