Drone Rules for ALA - Associação Limeirense de Aeromodelismo
Fly Status: Private/Club Managed. The ALA (Associação Limeirense de Aeromodelismo) is a private club, not a public park. Access is restricted to members and authorized visitors. Flight is governed by COBRA and ANAC standards, requiring membership, registration, and strict adherence to safety protocols.
Explanation This is a dedicated model airfield with professional infrastructure (asphalt runway, covered pits). It is not a place for uncoordinated recreational flight. Operating here requires you to follow the club’s internal safety rules, which are enforced to protect pilots, equipment, and members.
Conditions for Authorized Flight:
Membership: As a private association, priority is given to members. If you are not a member, you must contact the board to inquire about guest policies or temporary training access.
Infrastructure: The site includes specific zones for taxiing, engine start-up, and pit areas. Flying outside these designated zones is strictly prohibited.
Safety Standards: You must follow COBRA safety norms, including pre-flight checklists, radio frequency coordination, and strictly defined flight paths.
How to be "Socially Accepted" (and Legal-Proof):
Authorization: Contact the ALA board (via COBRA’s club directory) before heading to the site. Never show up and fly unannounced.
Compliance: Ensure your drone/model is registered with ANAC SISANT.
SARPAS NG: Under current ICA 100-40 regulations, a filed SARPAS NG flight plan is mandatory for all operations.
