Your proposed rule edit for Parque Madureira has been reviewed. The submitted source supports the claim that drone operations are permitted up to 40 meters without prior DECEA coordination under specific conditions. However, the proposed outline appears to be a line segment rather than a polygon representing the actual area of Parque Madureira. For better clarity and accuracy, please provide a polygonal outline that accurately represents the boundaries of Parque Madureira.

Parque Madureira Mestre Monarco is a massive, linear urban park stretching across several neighborhoods in the North Zone of Rio de Janeiro. Because it sits entirely clear of the restrictive approach and departure funnels for Galeão International Airport (GIG) and Santos Dumont Airport (SDU), it is one of the easiest urban green spaces in the region to operate a drone legally under the standard 40-meter low-altitude exemption.

Despite the open airspace status, navigating an urban park requires strict adherence to operational safety boundaries. The park features open lawns, sports courts, and walking paths that attract large numbers of visitors, especially on weekends. Under ANAC rules, you must maintain a horizontal safety distance of at least 30 meters (100 feet) from non-consenting individuals, and flying directly over crowds, food plazas, or skate parks is strictly prohibited. Additionally, high-voltage power lines run parallel to certain sections of the park; pilots must maintain a wide clearance from this infrastructure to avoid electromagnetic interference and potential signal loss.
