The airspace over and surrounding the Museu de Ciências Naturais PUC Minas (Coração Eucarístico, Belo Horizonte, MG) is classified as a highly restricted Private University Campus, High-Density Civil Assembly Area, and Urban Air Traffic Buffer Zone. Civilian drone flights are strictly prohibited directly over it.


The Museu de Ciências Naturais da Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Minas Gerais (located at Avenida Dom José Gaspar, 290, Building 40) is one of Brazil's premier scientific institutions. It houses massive collections of South American fossil mammals, paleontology exhibits, a butterfly garden (Jardim de Borboletas), and a planetarium. Situated right inside the main Coração Eucarístico campus, it sits embedded in a bustling urban sector of Belo Horizonte.

To legally operate a drone anywhere within the campus boundaries or over the museum structures, operators must secure formal corporate authorization from PUC Minas management, register the aircraft with ANAC, obtain specialized third-party liability insurance, and request digital airspace clearance via DECEA’s SARPAS NG portal. Unauthorized operators face immediate campus security intervention, local police reporting, equipment seizure, and heavy federal fines for endangering public urban airspace.
