Explanation This group utilizes a specialized area that serves as an active aerodrome for its members. The environment is governed by COBRA safety norms, focusing on airspace management within one of Rio's busiest zones. It is a technical, member-run facility; unauthorized entry or flying without membership or prior board approval is strictly prohibited and violates both club bylaws and federal aviation safety standards.
Core Requirements for 2026:
Mandatory Authorization: The ICA 100-40 protocol is mandatory. A SARPAS NG request must be active for your specific flight window.
ANAC Compliance: Every aircraft exceeding 250g must be registered in the SISANT system. You are expected to have your identification tag visible on the model and your paperwork verified by the site’s duty officer.
Operational Integrity: The "pit" and "flight line" are strictly separated. Any pilot crossing into the runway area without following the proper "Pista!" verbal clearance protocol risks immediate expulsion.
How to be "Socially Accepted":
Vetting: Do not arrive unannounced. Reach out to the club via their contact phone (+55 22 99944-7773) to inquire about guest policies, membership, or event schedules.
Safety Culture: This club values high standards of pilot etiquette. Listen to the veterans—they manage the local wind patterns and site-specific safety buffers.
Operational Hours: The site typically operates on Saturday and Sunday mornings (06:00–12:00). These are the only times the facility is "active" and overseen by safety officers.
