Drone Rules for Aeroporto Regional de Araguaína (AUX/SWGN)
Critical No-Fly Zone covering Araguaína Airport (SWGN). All unauthorized drone flights are strictly prohibited within this airspace to eliminate collision risks with commercial and regional aircraft. Only exceptional operations with explicit DECEA clearance via SARPAS NG are permitted.
Araguaína Airport (SWGN) is a key regional hub in northern Tocantins, handling regular commercial flights and intensive general aviation. Because the airfield connects directly to the urban grid, aircraft fly at very low altitudes over local neighborhoods during takeoff and landing. Spontaneous or recreational drone flights within the airport perimeter or its active approach funnels are completely banned under federal law (Brazilian Penal Code, Art. 261).
Regulatory Authorities: DECEA and ANAC.
Primary Framework: ICA 100-40 (DECEA) and Article 261 of the Brazilian Penal Code.
Flight Planning Portal: Operational restrictions and safety grids are managed via SARPAS NG and Aisweb.
