ANAC operates Brazil's civil aviation framework with RBAC (Regulamentos Brasileiros da Aviação Civil) — closely modelled after the FAA structure. AviationAlley's module layout maps onto ANAC RBAC nearly 1:1, with São Paulo, Rio, and the FBO network across Latin America's largest aviation market.
SBGRLATAM Airlines main hub + largest aviation market in South America
SBSPCongonhas — domestic hub + busiest business aviation airport in Brazil
SBGLMajor international gateway + helicopter operations to offshore platforms
SBBRCapital city + central Brazil hub for ANAC inspector visits
Same operation, different label. AviationAlley's module-gating system maps cleanly onto Brazil's regulatory structure.
| US (FAA) | Brazil (Agência) | What's similar / different |
|---|---|---|
| FAR Part 141 | RBAC 141 (Escolas de Aviação Civil) | Aero-club + flight school operations. Naming nearly identical to FAA. |
| FAR Part 142 | RBAC 142 (Centros de Treinamento) | Training center certification — same simulator + curriculum framework. |
| FAR Part 121 | RBAC 121 (Operações Regulares) | Scheduled airline ops. Fatigue rules under RBAC 117 — same four-window structure as FAR 117. |
| FAR Part 135 | RBAC 135 (Operações Suplementares) | Charter + on-demand. Similar to FAR 135 in shape. |
| AAIP | RBAC 145 (PIM) | Programas de Inspeção de Manutenção — maintenance programs equivalent to AAIP under RBAC 145. |
ANAC's RBAC framework — particularly RBAC 121 (scheduled), RBAC 135 (charter), RBAC 141 (flight school), RBAC 142 (training centers) — mirrors the FAA's Part numbering and structure. Fatigue rules under RBAC 117 are the direct equivalent of FAR 117. Audit-log filtering supports ANAC inspector visits the same way it does FAA POI visits.
Today, English-only. UI localization (Portuguese) is on the roadmap for 2027. Stripe + billing handle BRL natively.
Weather + NOTAM data sources are pluggable. The Brazilian DECEA adapter is a partner-credential integration, scoped per customer.
Default deployment is US-region. Brazil-region hosting (AWS São Paulo) is available for enterprise customers given Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (LGPD) considerations — paid migration.
