Drone Rules for HELIPORTO MUNICIPAL
Drone flights within the open category are fully restricted near the Centro de combate a incêndios e Proteção civil, Macedo de Cavaleiros to ensure unobstructed flight paths for regional emergency services operating in the city of Macedo de Cavaleiros and across the Bragança district.
A strategic spatial assessment of the operational zone enclosing the Centro de combate a incêndios e Proteção civil, Macedo de Cavaleiros emphasizes its critical role as a civil protection and tactical command center in the city of Macedo de Cavaleiros, located within the Bragança district. This facility coordinates rapid-response disaster relief and manages critical aerial assets deployed for seasonal wildfire containment. Because low-altitude helicopter activity escalates rapidly during emergencies, any local drone presence presents immediate risks to first responders. In compliance with Portuguese Decree-Law under Regulamento 1093/2016, open-category drone operations are strictly prohibited within this infrastructure's safety radius, meaning flights can only legally proceed with explicit, prior authorization from ANAC.
