Before

The Monumento ao Laçador, created by the renowned sculptor Antônio Caringi, is the official symbol of the city of Porto Alegre and a registered cultural heritage site of Rio Grande do Sul. Standing at over 4 meters tall on a high pedestal, this massive bronze monument depicts a traditional Gaucho in full festive attire. In 2007, the entire multi-ton sculpture was moved to its current location at the Sítio O Laçador to improve its visibility at the northern entrance of the city.
However, its relocation placed it in one of the absolute most dangerous aeronautical sectors for unmanned aircraft operations in Brazil:
Immediate Airport Runway Proximity: Geographically, the statue stands less than 1,000 meters from the physical threshold of Runway 11/29 at Salgado Filho International Airport (POA). Commercial aircraft, international cargo jets, and military flights pass directly over the monument at extremely low, critical landing altitudes. Launching a drone here creates an immediate, severe threat of a catastrophic mid-air collision or catastrophic engine ingestion.
Intense Urban Transport Hub: The monument is tightly bordered by high-speed urban highway intersections, light rail tracks (Trensurb), and major avenues. The severe amount of localized radio, industrial, and transit frequency interference makes this sector highly prone to triggering drone signal disconnects, risking an uncontrolled drone drop directly onto traffic or airport perimeters.
Because of the massive aviation risks, this airspace is heavily tracked by terminal control radars and Federal Police surveillance networks. Any unauthorized civilian drone attempting to take off near or fly around the Laçador without a highly specialized, military-coordinated tactical waiver submitted via DECEA's SARPAS NG will be immediately jammed and grounded. Operators will be arrested on the spot and face federal criminal prosecution for directly endangering national aerospace security.
