Drone Rules for Aeroporto Regional do Oeste - Cel. Adalberto Mendes da Silva
Critical No-Fly Zone covering Cascavel Airport (SBCA). All unauthorized drone flights are strictly prohibited within this airspace to eliminate collision risks with scheduled commercial passenger jets, turboprops, and executive aviation. Only exceptional operations with explicit DECEA clearance via SARPAS NG.
Cascavel Airport (SBCA) is a major regional aviation hub located in western Paraná. It serves as a vital economic link for the state's highly productive agribusiness sector, handling daily scheduled commercial flights operated by mainline passenger jets and regional turboprops, alongside a high volume of private corporate aircraft.
The airport is situated in close proximity to expanding urban neighborhoods and major agricultural transit highways. Because commercial airliners and executive aircraft operate at low altitudes during their final landing approaches and initial climb phases, any uncoordinated drone activity within this sector poses an immediate threat to flight safety. Spontaneous or recreational drone flights within the airfield perimeter or its active traffic funnels are completely banned under federal law (Brazilian Penal Code, Art. 261).
Regulatory Authorities: DECEA, ANAC, and the Municipal Administration of Cascavel.
Primary Framework: ICA 100-40 (DECEA) and Article 261 of the Brazilian Penal Code.
