The Cacoal Airport (ICAO: SSKW), officially named Capital do Café Airport and located in the municipality of Cacoal, Rondônia, serves as a crucial socio-economic and logistical gateway for the state's interior. The airport accommodates scheduled commercial flights connecting the region to major national hubs, alongside an active stream of general aviation, corporate executive operations, and critical aeromedical air ambulance flights serving the local healthcare network.

Because arriving and departing commercial aircraft execute low-altitude instrument (IFR) and visual (VFR) approaches directly over the surrounding transport corridors, rural properties, and expanding urban outskirts, uncoordinated drone activity inside this operational area creates an immediate mid-air collision risk. An aviation accident in this zone would severely threaten civilian lives on the ground and disrupt vital regional transit. Therefore, spontaneous or recreational drone flights within the airfield perimeter, its obstacle limitation surfaces, or its protective safety grids are completely prohibited under federal law (Brazilian Penal Code, Art. 261).
