Explanation CAPI is a specialized facility with infrastructure designed specifically for aeromodelling. Unlike public spaces, it is governed by COBRA safety norms to manage risk. It is a technical environment; flying without membership or prior board authorization is strictly prohibited and violates both club bylaws and federal safety standards.
Core Requirements for 2026:
Mandatory Authorization: The ICA 100-40 requires a SARPAS NG flight plan for every individual flight operation.
ANAC Compliance: Any aircraft exceeding 250g must be registered in the SISANT system. You must present your proof of registration if requested by the club board.
Operational Integrity: The facility maintains strictly enforced "flight lines" and "pit" discipline. Deviation from these safety buffers is considered a serious infraction of both club and aviation standards.
How to be "Socially Accepted":
Seek Membership: Do not expect to fly on a walk-in basis. Contact the club's board through their official channels to inquire about membership or guest policies.
Field Protocol: Respect the "Pista!" call-out procedure—announce clearly before landing or entering the runway area.
Coordination: Always verify your channel/frequency with other pilots on the flight line to prevent signal interference during operations.
