Summary Conditional Airspace Zone covering the Jamil Sales Hang Gliding Ramp. Drone operations are allowed but strictly restricted to maintain segregation from intense manned free-flight activities (paragliders and hang gliders) sharing this airspace. Operations must comply with DECEA ICA 100-40 regulations.

The Jamil Sales Free Flight Ramp (historically known as Rampa do Urubu), situated on the Serra da Aratanha in the Monguba district of Pacatuba, Ceará, is a premier and highly active hub for paragliding and hang gliding due to its year-round lift conditions. Because this location is heavily used by manned free-flight pilots who operate at low altitudes and rely entirely on visual separation, uncoordinated drone flights present an immediate mid-air collision hazard to human lives.

Drones are permitted to operate in this sector under strict conditions. Recreational and commercial drone pilots must constantly yield the right-of-way to all manned aircraft, paragliders, and hang gliders. Operations must keep well clear of active take-off and landing zones (at the base of the mountain near the CE-060 highway) unless specific, coordinated safety windows are established. All flights must be registered and authorized via DECEA’s SARPAS NG portal, and operators should coordinate locally with the responsible club (Clube Nordeste de Parapente) to ensure safe coexistence.
