Your proposed rule edit for Morro da Concha - Barra do Jucu in Vila Velha, ES, has been reviewed. The submitted source supports the claim that drone operations are permitted up to 40 meters without prior DECEA coordination under specific conditions. However, the proposed outline appears to be a line segment rather than a polygon representing the actual area of Morro da Concha. For better clarity and accuracy, please provide a polygonal outline that accurately represents the boundaries of Morro da Concha.

The Morro da Concha - Barra do Jucu is an iconic natural coastal formation located at the mouth of the Jucu River in Vila Velha. Because it sits comfortably outside the critical no-fly approach corridors of Eurico de Aguiar Salles International Airport (VIX) in Vitória, drone operators can execute operations using the standard low-altitude provisions, which eliminate the need for formal airspace slot allocation.
​However, pilots must remain highly alert due to the unique operational profile of this site. Morro da Concha - Barra do Jucu is a highly active and traditional launching ramp for paragliders and hang gliders executing coastal lift flights. Because manned paragliders always have operational right-of-way under DECEA guidelines, drone pilots must instantly yield the airspace, ground their aircraft if a paraglider approaches, and maintain a safe visual line of sight. Additionally, operators must maintain a horizontal distance of at least 30 meters (100 feet) from tourists and hikers visiting the hill's trails and viewpoints, and carefully monitor the strong, constant ocean winds typical of the Barra do Jucu coastline.
