Drone Rules for NINHO DAS AGUIAS CABANA
Fly Status: Strictly Prohibited (Recreational) Drone use at Ninho das Águias, is officially banned for recreational purposes. The site is a specialized area for paragliding and hang gliding (SBR 529). Filming is only permitted with prior, formal authorization from the Municipal Secretariat of Tourism and Culture.
Explanation The "Ninho das Águias" is a municipal free-flight ramp designated for paragliding and hang gliding. It is not a public park for general recreation. Because it operates as an active flight zone (SBR 529), any motorized aircraft—including drones—poses a direct risk to human lives and sports equipment.
Why recreational drone flight is barred:
Safety Collision Risk: The site is in an active airspace corridor for manned paragliders and hang gliders. Drones interfere with takeoffs and mid-air navigation, creating severe collision risks.
Designated Airspace: The area is registered as SBR 529, an exclusive airspace for free-flight activities. Unauthorized drones are a violation of both local safety protocols and national aeronautical regulations.
Legal Standing: The Municipal Secretariat of Tourism and Culture explicitly states that aerial filming is only allowed upon prior approval, and the site's own management documentation lists "Proibido voar com Drones" (Drones prohibited) as a fundamental rule of use.
How to verify and operate legally:
Official Restriction: Per the municipal notice, filming requires prior authorization from the Secretaria de Turismo e Cultura de Nova Petrópolis. You cannot fly without this written permit.
Federal Compliance: Even with a municipal permit, you remain subject to federal laws:
Registration: Mandatory in the ANAC (SISANT) system.
Flight Plan: Filing via DECEA SARPAS NG is required for all operations, and the system will likely deny or require special coordination due to the SBR 529 status.
Insurance: RETA insurance is mandatory for any approved professional flight.
