ANAC Brazil / DECEA
Brazil
Permit path requiredANAC registration plus DECEA airspace access
Brazil has a real paperwork path. Plan for ANAC registration, DECEA/SARPAS airspace authorization, radio compliance, and DECEA's ICA 100-40, in force since July 1, 2026.
The trip, step by step
- Bring it
- Bring proof of ownership and expect extra scrutiny for professional payloads. DECEA's ICA 100-40, in force since July 1, 2026, governs airspace access through SARPAS.
- Register it
- Register drones over 250 g in ANAC's SISANT, whether flown for recreation or work; use DECEA SARPAS for airspace, and ANATEL radio-equipment requirements where applicable.
- Fly it
- Recreational/model-aircraft users still need to follow ANAC and DECEA rules; drones over 250 g must be registered in ANAC's SISANT system, and SARPAS may be needed for airspace.
- Map check
- SARPAS is the official airspace authorization system; AISWEB and DECEA publications provide aeronautical information.
Before you travel
- 01Check ANAC registration and RBAC 100 category requirements.
- 02Request airspace access through SARPAS where required.
- 03Follow DECEA ICA 100-40, in force since July 1, 2026, for airspace access.
- 04Get local permissions for beaches, events, parks, private sites, and people-overflight.
Operating notes
- Max altitude
- Open-category operations generally use 120 m / 400 ft AGL; DECEA rules can impose lower ceilings or authorizations by location.
- Commercial work
- Commercial open-category work can fit RBAC 100 only if it stays within limits. Specific/certified operations need ANAC authorization, risk documentation, insurance where required, and DECEA approval.
