Your proposed rule edit for Praia do Félix includes detailed operational guidelines for drone pilots, referencing DECEA's ICA 100-40 regulations. However, to ensure accuracy and reliability, it is important to reference official sources that confirm these regulations. Additionally, the outline provided is a general polygon; a more precise outline representing the actual area of the beach would enhance the rule's effectiveness.

Located on the northern coast of Ubatuba, Praia do Félix is a highly dynamic and visually stunning beach. The right side features calm, protected emerald waters ideal for families, while the left side transitions into a strong surf zone bordered by dense Atlantic Forest. Access requires passing through a gated residential condominium security checkpoint. Because it is highly sought after by tourists, surfers, and families alike, space can become incredibly limited. Airspace Requirements (DECEA Rules): Under the current aviation framework, all drone flights—including sub-250g models like the DJI Mini series—legally require a pre-approved flight plan logged via the SARPAS platform prior to taking off. There are no blank exemptions for casual beach operations. Bystander Separation & Crowds: In compliance with ANAC safety standards, pilots must maintain a mandatory minimum 30-meter horizontal safety buffer from any non-consenting individuals. Finding a legal launch pad or flying low over the sand is virtually impossible during sunny weekends or holidays when the beach is heavily packed. Privacy and Gated Access: Because the primary beach access points cut through a private residential estate, property owners and security personnel are highly protective of their privacy. Hovering low near the beachfront villas, entry checkpoints, or private parking sectors violates local privacy codes.
