Per 2026 ICA 100-40 regulations, all operations mandate active SARPAS NG flight plans and valid ANAC SISANT registration for legal, safe, and socially accepte
Explanation The CSA is a specialized sports environment. Unlike public parks, it is governed by COBRA safety norms designed to mitigate risk to pilots, equipment, and the public. It is a technical facility; flying without membership or authorization is considered an intrusion and a safety violation.
Core Requirements for 2026:
Mandatory Authorization: The ICA 100-40 requires a SARPAS NG flight plan for every flight operation.
ANAC Compliance: Aircraft over 250g must be registered in the SISANT system. You are required to carry your registration documentation during operations.
Operational Integrity: The club maintains strictly enforced "flight lines" and "pit zones." Deviating from these buffers is a direct violation of both club bylaws and federal aviation safety standards.
How to be "Socially Accepted":
Request Access: Never arrive unannounced. Contact the club's board to understand the specific visitor policies and requirements for guest flight privileges.
Safety First: Always use the "Pista!" call-out procedure clearly before entering the runway or landing area.
Coordination: Verify your transmitter frequency with other pilots on the flight line before powering on to prevent signal interference.
