Drone Rules for Lauro Carneiro de Loyola
Critical No-Fly Zone covering Joinville Airport (SBJV). All unauthorized drone flights are strictly prohibited within this airspace to eliminate collision risks with regional commercial jets, turboprops, and executive aircraft. Only exceptional operations with explicit DECEA clearance via SARPAS NG are permitted.
Joinville Airport (SBJV) is a key regional airfield serving the largest city in Santa Catarina. It handles a steady flow of scheduled commercial passenger flights, corporate jets, and cargo operations linked to the region's major industrial hub.
The airport is located close to the Babitonga Bay and is surrounded by expanding urban areas and industrial parks. Because arriving and departing aircraft operate at very low altitudes directly over these busy industrial zones, highways, and residential neighborhoods during their final approach and initial climb phases, uncoordinated drone activity poses an immediate threat to aviation safety. Spontaneous or recreational drone flights within the airfield perimeter or its active traffic corridors are completely banned under federal law (Brazilian Penal Code, Art. 261).
Regulatory Authorities: DECEA, ANAC, and CCR Aeroportos.
Primary Framework: ICA 100-40 (DECEA) and Article 261 of the Brazilian Penal Code.
Flight Planning Portal: Operational safety grids and airspace restrictions are managed via SARPAS NG and Aisweb.
