Your proposed rule edit for Museu da Fotografia includes detailed operational guidelines for drone pilots, referencing DECEA's ICA 100-40 regulations. However, to ensure accuracy and reliability, it is important to reference official sources that confirm these regulations. Additionally, the outline provided is a general polygon; a more precise outline representing the actual area of Museu da Fotografia would enhance the rule's effectiveness.

Summary — Do not fly here. It is a private cultural institution in a tight urban zone. Recreational flights are strictly banned. Professional or commercial captures require a formal written permit from the museum management weeks in advance, alongside a cleared DECEA flight plan and liability insurance.
Before
After
Located in the upscale Varjota neighborhood of Fortaleza, Ceará, the museum holds one of the most comprehensive photography collections in Brazil. The building itself is a modern, compact architectural piece situated in a dense residential and commercial urban grid. Because it faces narrow city streets with overhead power lines and constant pedestrian movement, operating a drone outside or around the building is highly dangerous and restricted.

Regulatory Framework: The airspace in this urban sector of Fortaleza is regulated by DECEA. Launching a drone in a high-density neighborhood without a verified, pre-approved flight plan in the SARPAS system violates Brazilian airspace laws.

Proximity Limits: ANAC rules strictly forbid flying less than 30 horizontal meters from non-consenting people. Because the museum is tightly surrounded by busy sidewalks, neighboring properties, and active traffic, maintaining this legal safety margin is practically impossible.

Legal Penalties: Unauthorized flights will be met with immediate action by the museum's security staff or local authorities. Operating illegally risks permanent equipment confiscation, heavy administrative fines from ANAC, and criminal charges under Article 261 of the Brazilian Penal Code for endangering public safety in a crowded metropolitan area.
