Drone Rules for AMR - Associação de modelismo de Resende
Fly Status: Managed Private/Permit-Based Facility. The AMR (Associação de Modelismo de Resende) is a specialized aviation facility situated within the airport perimeter (Resende Airport - SDRS). Because it operates inside an active aerodrome, it is subject to strict DECEA (Department of Airspace Control) oversight. Per
Explanation Resende is a high-sensitivity airspace zone. Operating near an active airport requires absolute adherence to safety protocols. This club serves as a professional-grade facility where the local board maintains direct coordination with the aerodrome administration to ensure RC models do not interfere with general aviation (crewed aircraft, training flights, and local commercial traffic).
Core Requirements for 2026 (Brazil):
Mandatory Authorization: Operations within the airport perimeter are highly sensitive. A SARPAS NG request must be active for your specific window. The aerodrome manager has final authority over all flight operations.
ANAC Compliance: Every aircraft exceeding 250g must be registered in the SISANT system. You are expected to have your identification tag visible on the model and your paperwork ready for inspection by the duty officer.
Operational Integrity: The "pit" and "flight line" are strictly separated. Any pilot crossing into the runway area without following the proper local verbal clearance protocol faces immediate suspension, as airport safety is a federal concern in Brazil.
How to be "Socially Accepted":
Vetting: Do not arrive unannounced. Reach out to the association to inquire about guest policies, as access to an active airport facility is strictly restricted to authorized members and vetted visitors.
Frequency Discipline: Since the facility shares space with an active airport, radio frequency interference is a zero-tolerance issue. Always clear your transmission with the onsite safety officer before powering up your remote.
Airport Protocols: Respect the airport’s general aviation schedule. If a full-scale aircraft is preparing for takeoff or landing, all RC models must remain grounded and frequencies must be cleared immediately.
