Drone Rules for Parque Linear Nove de Julho
Fly Status: Highly Restricted / Conditional Authorization Required Parque Linear 9 de Julho (SP) is a municipal public space where recreational drone use is effectively prohibited. Operations require formal prior authorization from the park's management and full compliance with ANAC/DECEA regulations.
Explanation The Parque Linear 9 de Julho is a municipal asset managed under strict public usage rules. Like most parks in São Paulo, the administration prioritizes visitor safety, environmental tranquility, and privacy, making "free-flight" claims incorrect and hazardous to the operator.
Why recreational flight is generally barred:
Public Safety: Under RBAC 94 (ANAC), flying over people who are not involved in the operation is strictly prohibited. In a linear park with joggers and pedestrians, maintaining a 30-meter safety buffer is often impossible.
Administrative Discretion: Municipal park security (often supported by the GCM) is empowered to prevent activities that disrupt public order. Operating a drone will almost certainly lead to immediate intervention.
Liability: If an accident occurs or privacy is breached, the operator faces civil and criminal liability, regardless of what online forums claim about the "legality" of the airspace.
How to make your flight "legal-proof":
Formal Authorization: If you have a professional project, you must obtain written permission from the park's administrative office before attempting any flight.
Registration: Your drone must be registered with ANAC (SISANT).
Flight Planning: Filing a flight plan via the DECEA SARPAS NG portal is mandatory for all operations under the new ICA 100-40 rules (effective July 2026), even for sub-250g drones.
Insurance: For any non-recreational activity, RETA insurance is legally required.
