Drone Rules for Tingui Park
Fly Status: Prohibited / Highly Restricted O uso recreativo de drones no Parque Tingui é proibido por normas do IAT para proteger a fauna e o sossego público. Operações são permitidas apenas mediante autorização formal do IAT, registro na ANAC e plano de voo aprovado no SARPAS NG.
Explanation The Parque Tingui is a critical ecological area and part of Curitiba's extensive linear park system, featuring wetlands, forests, and significant bird nesting sites. The restriction on drone operations is enforced primarily to maintain ecological balance and public tranquility.
Operating a civilian drone within or over the park boundaries triggers the following enforcement priorities:
Ecological Protection: As an environmental conservation area, the park is protected by regulations that prohibit activities deemed to disturb local fauna. The noise, movement, and visual presence of drones have been shown to interrupt nesting, foraging, and mating behaviors of protected wildlife species.
Recreational Prohibition: Following the recent IAT mandates, the recreational use of drones is restricted to prevent the degradation of these protected zones. Enforcement is strict to ensure the park remains a sanctuary for both the environment and visitors.
Safety and Privacy in Urban Parks: Given that the Parque Tingui is a high-traffic public space, any unauthorized flight over visitors is a direct violation of RBAC 94 (ANAC), which regulates the proximity of unmanned aircraft to people not involved in the operation.
To legally operate a drone in the vicinity or for specific authorized projects (such as professional research, academic studies, or journalism), pilots must navigate a rigorous legal path:
Prior Authorization: You must request formal authorization from the Instituto Água e Terra (IAT) through the state's E-Protocolo system. These requests are evaluated on an individual, exceptional basis.
Operational Documentation: All equipment must be registered with the ANAC (SISANT). Even if authorized for a specific task, you must file a formal flight plan via the DECEA SARPAS NG portal to ensure compliance with national airspace safety standards.
Liability: Professional operations require mandatory third-party liability insurance (RETA). Unauthorized pilots are subject to environmental penalties, equipment seizure, and potential civil and criminal liability for environmental disturbances and risk to public safety.
