Explanation Carén is a well-known technical field for RC enthusiasts in Chile. It serves as a controlled hub to keep hobbyist aviation away from the urban density of Santiago and the restricted airspace surrounding international airports. Unauthorized flying without membership or prior coordination is strictly prohibited as it threatens the club's legal status with municipal and aeronautical authorities. Core Requirements for 2026 (Chile): Registration (DAN 151): All RPAS (drones/models) weighing more than 250g must be registered with the DGAC. You must carry your registration proof at all times when operating in public or club-affiliated spaces. Operational Standards: Operators must maintain a Visual Line of Sight (VLOS), fly only during daylight hours, and stay below 120 meters (400 feet) above ground level. Restricted Airspace: The Santiago region is heavily monitored due to the proximity of the Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport (SCEL). Before every flight, you must verify that the club location is outside of the airport's controlled zones and comply with any local NOTAMs. Liability: Possessing a civil liability insurance policy is a requirement for joining formal clubs in Chile to protect against damages to third-party property or people. How to be "Socially Accepted": Request Membership: Do not arrive at the field unannounced to fly. Contact the club’s board through their official channels to inquire about membership, safety briefings, and current operating rules. Safety Protocol: Familiarize yourself with the club’s specific "flight line" and "pit" rules. Frequency management is strictly enforced to prevent signal interference between pilots. Local Respect: The Santiago/Pudahuel area has specific municipal noise and land-use ordinances. Adhering to the club's rules is the only way to ensure the site remains open and respected by the surrounding community.
