Overview
- ANAC’s Resolution 957/2025 eliminates the requirement to file flight plans for private VFR operations, with the change set to take effect on March 1, 2026.
- Visual flight at night is authorized nationwide for qualified pilots under defined conditions, expanding operational flexibility.
- Small non‑regular passenger aircraft with fewer than 10 seats may operate with a single pilot using an approved autopilot system, subject to ANAC approval.
- A high‑surveillance area north of parallel 29S retains a tracking safeguard that requires ADS‑B to forgo filing a flight plan.
- The package removes the legacy 900‑hour threshold tied to a commercial pilot license, updates RAAC Parts 91, 121 and 135, and sets a September 1, 2026 deadline for MEL approvals.
