Before
After
The airspace over the iconic Pedra Furada is open to responsible drone flight operations under strict ecological preservation and safety guidelines. Characterized by its dramatic coastal setting and unique geological arch, this location provides a spectacular stage for legal aerial content creation. To ensure safety and preserve the site, pilots must operate with extreme caution, particularly regarding coastal wind patterns and the heavy foot traffic of tourists. Regulatory Framework & Permissions: Drone operations are allowed for recreational and landscape capturing. All operators must ensure their aircraft is properly registered with ANAC and ANATEL, and flights must strictly follow DECEA regulations (ICA 100-40) for unmanned aircraft. Flight Authorization & Coordination: Standard recreational flights do not require specialized individual permits, but you must log your flight path and request clearance via the SARPAS portal. Professional, commercial, or documentary media productions involving the rock formation should obtain prior authorization from the local park administration to avoid disrupting the visitor experience. Geofencing & Flight Conditions: The area's coordinates are not blocked by permanent firmware-level Red Zones, meaning your aircraft will unlock and take off normally. However, pilots must be extremely careful with strong sea breezes that can catch the drone, and the "cliff effect," where unpredictable updrafts can destabilize the aircraft near the rock face. Environmental & Access Restrictions: To keep your flights legal, drones must never be used to harass local wildlife (such as birds nesting in the rocks). Operators must maintain a safe distance from other visitors to protect public privacy and safety. Legal Penalties: Flying a drone recklessly over tourists, or operating without proper SARPAS logging, will lead to immediate flight termination by park rangers or authorities. Violations are subject to equipment confiscation, heavy administrative fines, and criminal prosecution under Article 261 of the Brazilian Penal Code if airspace safety is compromised.
