Before

After

The airspace surrounding Porto Seguro Airport (BPS) is heavily restricted due to its urban location, proximity to major tourist hubs, and critical approach paths. To ensure aviation safety, all drone operations within this zone are subject to strict regulations, mandatory flight authorizations, and automated GPS geofencing.

Regulatory Framework: All drone operations in Brazil are strictly governed by DECEA (airspace access), ANAC (aircraft registration), and ANATEL (radio frequency certification).

Flight Authorization: Pilots cannot legally fly within the airport's buffer zones without prior clearance requested through the official SARPAS system.

Geofencing Controls: Commercial drone manufacturers implement automated firmware restrictions that completely ground or limit aircraft operations within the airport’s immediate perimeter to prevent collisions.

Legal Penalties: Unauthorized flights in this airspace violate Article 261 of the Brazilian Penal Code (endangering air transportation safety), which carries severe consequences including equipment confiscation, heavy fines, and criminal prosecution.
