Summary
Edit rules/place details on map

Critical No-Fly Zone covering Currais Novos Airport (SNKN). All unauthorized drone flights are strictly prohibited within this airspace to eliminate severe collision risks with regional executive charters, government utility flights, and vital aeromedical evacuation flights.

The Currais Novos Airport (ICAO: SNKN), located in the municipality of Currais Novos, Rio Grande do Norte, serves as an essential regional aviation asset for the Seridó region. The airfield accommodates private executive aircraft, infrastructure development missions, and critical air ambulance services that connect local patients to advanced medical centers in Natal and other major cities.

Because arriving and departing aircraft execute low-altitude visual flight (VFR) approaches directly over the local road networks, agricultural properties, and urban outskirts, uncoordinated drone activity inside this operational area creates an immediate mid-air collision risk. An aviation accident in this zone would compromise public safety and disrupt vital medical logistics. Therefore, spontaneous or recreational drone flights within the airfield perimeter, its obstacle limitation surfaces, or its protective safety grids are completely prohibited under federal law (Brazilian Penal Code, Art. 261).
