Drone Rules for Aeroclube Do Espirito Santo (ACES)
Flight Restriction Zone (FRZ) safeguarding the Aeroclube do Espírito Santo (SDES) airfield in Barra do Jucu. Uncoordinated drone flights are strictly prohibited within a 2 Nautical Mile (3.7 km) radius due to intense, All operations inside this zone require mandatory pre-authorization.
The Aeroclube do Espírito Santo (SDES) is a highly active aerodrome located along the Rodovia do Sol in the Barra do Jucu region of Vila Velha. Unlike a standard commercial airport, this facility functions primarily as a flight school and civil aviation training hub for both airplanes and helicopters.
Because it is an instructional environment, student pilots frequently conduct low-altitude training patterns, "touch-and-go" landings, and emergency simulation drills right over the airfield and the adjacent coastline. To protect these vulnerable maneuvers, DECEA enforces a Flight Restriction Zone (FRZ) around the facility. Spontaneous or unlogged drone flights within the immediate buffer zone are entirely blocked to prevent catastrophic mid-air collisions. Manned training flights always retain absolute right-of-way.
