Drone Laws in Brazil

Drone Laws in Brazil

Brazil regulates drones through ANAC, DECEA, and ANATEL, distinguishing recreational model aircraft from non-recreational RPAs while applying many core rules to both. Drones must maintain a 30-meter horizontal distance from uninvolved people, and a single pilot may operate only one drone at a time. Recreational users can fly model aircraft with no minimum age, and drones below 250 grams require no license or registration. Flying above 400 feet (120 meters) triggers licensing and rating requirements, so hobbyists typically stay under 120 meters and within visual line of sight. All RPA pilots must be at least 18 years old; lightweight RPA
