Security forces have the authority to halt any drone flight that compromises public safety or privacy. Always check the SARPAS NG portal; if it is not authorized there, it is not legal to fly, regardless of hobbyist claims.

Explanation The Lagoa do Violão is a protected environmental and recreational area in Torres. While not a permanent "No-Fly Zone" like a military base, it is an urban and environmental site where the city administration and security forces (GCM/Brigada Militar) strictly regulate drone activity to protect public safety and wildlife. Why recreational flight is frequently challenged: Safety & Privacy: The lagoon is a high-traffic area for pedestrians and pedal boat users. Under RBAC 94 (ANAC), flying within 30 meters of people not involved in the operation is prohibited. Environmental Sensitivity: The lagoon is an ecological preserve. Drones can disturb local birds and wildlife, which can lead to environmental infractions. Official Oversight: The City of Torres frequently uses professional drone services for municipal monitoring and events (e.g., Festival de Balonismo), which requires clear airspace. Uncoordinated recreational flights interfere with these authorized missions. How to operate legally: SARPAS NG: It is mandatory to file a flight plan via SARPAS NG. If the area is flagged by an active NOTAM or sensitive zone, your flight will be denied. Regulatory Compliance: Your drone must be registered in the SISANT (ANAC) if it exceeds 250g. Always carry your documentation. Professional Requests: If you intend to film for commercial or professional purposes, you must contact the Prefeitura de Torres to ensure your activity does not conflict with municipal contracts or events.
