Not for regular use. Occasional landings outside registered airfields and helipads are allowed in specific situations, under the pilot’s and operator’s responsibility, but a site used frequently for landings and take-offs must be registered. Regular operations at an unregistered area expose the pilot, operator and property owner to fines and insurance issues.

They are the two ways of entering an airfield or helipad in the official register: approval (homologação) for public use and registration for private use. Both include an airspace analysis by DECEA and an ANAC filing. The initial assessment of your site defines which path applies.

Any site used regularly for landings and take-offs: helipads on buildings, hospitals, companies, condominiums and rural properties, for public or private use. Sporadic landings may qualify as occasional landings, under the operator’s responsibility.

It depends on the type of helipad (rooftop or ground level), the surroundings, the required studies and any adjustments the site needs. That is why we run a free preliminary assessment and quote by milestones: you pay as each technical stage is delivered.

It depends on site complexity and regulator workload. On average, it takes 60 to 120 days from the initial filing to publication in the Federal Official Gazette.

Typically: property and owner documents, the helipad design and drawings, a georeferenced topographic survey, the protection zone study (PBZPAH) and operational documents. The exact list depends on the type of helipad, and our team gathers and files everything.

The register must reflect the actual site. Changes in the surroundings (new buildings, towers or antennas), renovations, new dimensions or a new person in charge may require an update with the authorities. We review your case and tell you whether the register needs to be revised.

It starts with a site feasibility study, followed by a topographic survey, the Basic Airfield Protection Zone Plan (PBZPA), design, DECEA filing and ANAC registration, up to publication. We follow every step, and you can track progress in the Client Area.

The Basic Helipad Protection Zone Plan (PBZPAH) is the technical document required by DECEA to define the obstacle limitation surfaces around the helipad, ensuring safe approaches and take-offs.

The Airspace Obstacle Analysis (OPEA) checks whether a building height interferes with the Airfield Protection Zone. Norte Sul Consult prepares the technical report and files it on SysAGA/DECEA for the official opinion.

Our contracts are tied to technical progress. The client pays as each stage (topographic survey, filing, favorable opinion and DOU publication) is delivered.

The entire country. Our teams perform topographic surveys and inspections in any Brazilian state.
