Drone Rules for Aeroporto de Campo Largo
Restricted No Fly Zone covering Max Fontoura Aerodrome / Campo Largo Airport (SSCF). Unauthorized drone flights near the runway, traffic pattern, approach or departure paths are prohibited due to collision risk with low altitude general aviation traffic. Operations require prior DECEA authorization via SARPAS NG.
Max Fontoura Aerodrome (SSCF), commonly referred to as Campo Largo Airport, is a private aerodrome located in Campo Largo, Paraná, west of the Greater Curitiba area. It operates mainly as a small general aviation airfield, with a 900 meter unpaved runway aligned 12/30 and published VFR daytime operations. Unlike large controlled airports, traffic around this type of aerodrome may include light aircraft operating visually at low altitude, with limited reaction time during takeoff, landing, circuit patterns and local approach or departure segments.
Uncoordinated drone flights near the airfield perimeter, runway axis, traffic pattern, or surrounding approach and departure areas create a serious risk of collision. Small aircraft using SSCF may be flying close to terrain and may not have the same detection, avoidance, or procedural separation available at major controlled airports. For this reason, recreational or spontaneous drone operations should not be conducted in this zone without prior airspace authorization.
All drone pilots must check the applicable operational safety grids, NOTAMs and airspace restrictions before flight. Operations near SSCF require authorization through DECEA’s SARPAS NG system and must comply with the applicable Brazilian RPAS/drone framework, including ICA 100-40, ANAC rules and any local aeronautical information published through AISWEB/ROTAER. Unauthorized activity that endangers aircraft may also fall under Brazilian Penal Code Article 261, which addresses acts that expose aircraft or air navigation to danger.
