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 a rule transition beginning July 1, 2026.
Bring it
Bring proof of ownership and expect extra scrutiny for professional payloads. Re-check DECEA ICA 100-40/2026 for trips after July 1, 2026.
Register it
Use ANAC/SISANT-style registration where required, 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; registration can apply over 250 g and SARPAS may be needed for airspace.
Map check
SARPAS is the official airspace authorization system; AISWEB and DECEA publications provide aeronautical information.
