Geographically, Praia de Antunes is located in the municipality of Maragogi, Alagoas, along the famous "Coral Coast." The physical terrain features an expansive, flat coastal line characterized by fine white sand plains, dense coconut groves, and a shallow turquoise sea protected by a massive, fragile offshore barrier reef system. This distinct coastal and marine setting creates unique microclimatic flight challenges. The open beach faces constant, intense maritime trade winds and rapid variations in relative humidity that sweep off the Atlantic Ocean. Operating multirotor platforms here involves specific hardware risks: the combination of strong sea breezes, high air salinity, and constant fine sand can quickly cause motor bearing corrosion and battery overheating. Furthermore, flights over the water are prone to intense solar glare reflections off the shallow turquoise sea floor, which can confuse downward-facing optical positioning sensors and trigger unexpected telemetry drift.
