Drone Rules for Pedreira Paulo Leminski
Fly Status: Highly Restricted / Professional Authorization Mandatory Pedreira Paulo Leminski is a private-event venue and cultural landmark. Recreational drone flight is effectively prohibited due to safety risks and operational security.formal prior authorization via the Curitiba Film.
Explanation The Pedreira is not a public park for casual hobbyists; it is a high-security event space. Because it frequently hosts large concerts and festivals, the management enforces strict bans on unauthorized aerial devices to prevent collisions, privacy breaches, and interference with event production.
Conditions under which a flight could be considered:
Professional/Commercial Justification: If your project is part of a professional audiovisual production, you must submit a formal request to the Curitiba Film Commission. This process ensures your flight is coordinated with venue management and avoids conflicts with scheduled shows.
Event-Specific Approval: During festivals or events, drone operation is often limited to contracted crews who have provided insurance documents and safety plans. You cannot simply show up and fly.
Safety Buffer: The Pedreira’s unique topography (steep cliffs and stage infrastructure) makes it a complex flight zone. ANAC RBAC 94 mandates a 30-meter buffer from people not involved in the operation. During events, this is physically impossible to maintain, effectively banning all recreational flights.
How to make your flight "legal-proof":
Mandatory SARPAS NG Plan: Regardless of your authorization status, you must file a flight plan via SARPAS NG. The venue is often flagged in aviation databases; without an approved status here, you are committing a federal aviation infraction.
Formal Permit: If approved by the Film Commission, you will receive a document/authorization letter. Keep this available at all times. Venue security has the authority to confiscate equipment that does not have clear, verifiable authorization.
Insurance: If you are operating professionally (which is the only realistic way to get permission here), RETA insurance is legally required.
