Drone Rules for Clube De Aeromodelismo De Lençóis Paulista
Fly Status: Private Club Access. The ASALP (Associação de Aeromodelismo de Lençóis Paulista) is a private airfield. Operations are strictly for members and invited guests. Unauthorized flight at their facility or in the surrounding area is prohibited by club bylaws and federal aviation law (ICA 100-40).
Explanation This is a specialized aero-sport facility, not a public park. The club maintains a dedicated runway and organized flight infrastructure. Social etiquette here dictates that you respect the hierarchy and safety management of the club. Attempting to fly without coordination is viewed as a security breach and a safety hazard to other pilots.
Conditions for Authorized Flight:
Club Membership: Access is restricted. You must be a member or obtain board authorization to use their infrastructure.
Technical Compliance: Operations follow COBRA safety norms and standard flight patterns. You must coordinate frequency and flight lines with the club's board.
Mandatory Coordination: If you intend to fly in the region, even if not directly at their runway, you must ensure you are not infringing on the airfield’s protected airspace or safety buffers.
How to be "Socially Accepted":
Authorization: Contact the association (formerly represented by William D. de Assis) to inquire about visitor policies. Never fly unannounced.
Legal Compliance: Ensure your equipment is registered in the ANAC SISANT.
Flight Plan: Even for hobbyists, the DECEA/ICA 100-40 (2026) regulation requires an approved SARPAS NG flight plan for any operation. Presenting this is your only way to demonstrate professionalism and legitimacy.
