Drone Rules for Base Aérea de Anápolis
Critical No-Fly Zone covering Anápolis Air Force Base (SBAN). All unauthorized drone flights are strictly prohibited within this airspace to eliminate severe security and safety risks involving high-performance supersonic fighter jets, heavy military transport aircraft, and strategic air defense assets.
Anápolis Air Force Base (SBAN), also known as Base Aérea de Anápolis (BAAN), is one of the most critical and strategically important military installations for the Brazilian Air Force (FAB). Located in Anápolis, Goiás, it is the frontline home of the 1st Air Defense Group (1º GDA), which operates the country's multi-role F-39 Gripen and historic fighter fleets, as well as heavy transport squadrons (1º GTT) operating the KC-390 Millennium, and airborne surveillance units (2º/6º GAV).
The airspace surrounding SBAN is subject to stringent security protocols due to the constant operation of supersonic combat aircraft, heavy military airlifters, and radar reconnaissance assets moving at high speeds and low altitudes. Drones operating in this area present not only a severe physical collision hazard to military pilots but also a national security violation. Uncoordinated drone operations within the base perimeter, its tactical approach funnels, or its strictly regulated defensive airspace corridors are completely illegal and aggressively penalized under federal and military law (Brazilian Penal Code, Art. 261).
