| Summary | — | Fly Status: Strictly Prohibited / Requires Federal Authorization. Operating a drone near airports (like REC or VIX) is a major safety risk. Per the ICA 100-40 (effective July 2026), all drones—regardless of weight—require prior approval via the SARPAS NG portal. |
Before
After
ICA 100-40 (New Standard): As of July 1, 2026, the "recreational exemption" for drones under 250g is revoked. Every flight requires a plan in SARPAS NG. Airport Proximity: Areas near airports are classified as FRZs (Flight Restriction Zones). In these zones, the probability of approval for recreational flights is near zero. Safety Buffer: A horizontal distance of 30m from people/property is mandatory. Documentation: You must have ANAC SISANT (if >250g), ANATEL homologation, and your SARPAS NG authorization document (digital or print). How to be "Socially Accepted" and Lawful Do Not Fly Near Runways: Any interference with manned aircraft approach paths is a serious federal crime. Verify Airspace: Use the SARPAS NG map or AISWEB to check if your location is in a "Red Zone." Respect Privacy: Avoid residential or commercial zones; drone noise in urban areas often leads to police reports. Join a Club: The only authorized way to fly regularly near urban areas is via a COBRA-affiliated club with pre-approved safety zones.
