Before
After
The Poços de Caldas Municipal Airport – Embaixador Walther Moreira Salles (SBPC), located in the southern region of the city of Poços de Caldas, Minas Gerais, is a highly active general aviation hub. Situated at an altitude of over 4,100 feet on a volcanic plateau, the airport frequently experiences unique weather patterns and serves as a major base for corporate executive flights, localized flight school training, aeromedical evacuations, and intense glider (sailplane) recreational operations.
Because gliders and training aircraft operate at lower speeds, quiet profiles, and specific low-altitude traffic patterns around the airfield, they are uniquely vulnerable to mid-air hazards. Any uncoordinated drone activity within this airspace introduces an immediate threat to aviation safety. Spontaneous or recreational drone flights within the airfield perimeter, its obstacle limitation surfaces, or its active visual flight (VFR) corridors are completely banned under federal law (Brazilian Penal Code, Art. 261).
