Drone Rules for Pelotas International Airport
Critical No-Fly Zone covering Pelotas Airport (SBPK). All unauthorized drone flights are strictly prohibited within this airspace to prevent collisions with commercial passenger planes and military traffic. Only operations with explicit DECEA clearance via SARPAS NG are permitted.
Pelotas International Airport (SBPK), managed by CCR Aeroportos, handles regular commercial jet routes and essential regional traffic in Rio Grande do Sul. Because the runway sits close to urban areas, descending aircraft fly at very low altitudes over local neighborhoods and highways. Spontaneous or recreational drone flights within the airport perimeter or its active approach corridors are completely banned under federal law (Brazilian Penal Code, Art. 261).
