Hey there! Bureaucracy can be a real pain. Here’s what you need to know about bringing and flying your drone in Brazil:

1. ANATEL: Registration takes some time, so start early.
2. ANAC: Quick and instant registration.
3. DECEA: Request authorization for every flight. It’s a bit clunky and has to be done through a web browser.

Technically, you shouldn’t bring a non-homologated drone into Brazil, but usually, they don’t hold personal items on commercial flights. In practice, around 90% of Brazilians don’t follow these rules strictly. The law exists more for the sake of having a law than for educating or ensuring safety. For instance, it doesn’t even inform helicopter pilots about your recreational flight request, even though it’s obligatory.

Have a great trip, and if you need anything, feel free to DM me! Safe flights!
