located in the northwest of the State of Amazonas near the borders of Colombia and Venezuela, is an infrastructure asset of supreme strategic value for Brazil’s national defense and regional integration. Serving the most indigenous municipality in the country, this airfield accommodates scheduled regional commercial routes, essential logistics cargo, and extensive operations by the Brazilian Armed Forces (especially the Brazilian Air Force and Army) supporting border platoons and national sovereignty. Because transport, utility, and tactical military aircraft execute low-altitude instrument (IFR) and visual (VFR) approaches over deep jungle corridors, river basins, and the urban core of São Gabriel da Cachoeira, uncoordinated drone activity inside this restricted airspace poses an immediate mid-air collision hazard. An accident in this highly isolated frontier region would severely jeopardize national security operations and cut off the primary emergency medical lifeline for local communities. Consequently, spontaneous or recreational drone flights within the airfield perimeter, its obstacle limitation surfaces, or its protective safety grids are completely prohibited under federal law (Brazilian Penal Code, Art. 261).
