Passo Fundo Airport – Lauro Kortz (SBPF) is a highly active regional aviation hub located in northern Rio Grande do Sul. Following recent infrastructure modernizations, the airport accommodates regular commercial jet flights connecting the region directly to major national hubs like São Paulo, alongside a significant volume of executive charters, medical flights, and agricultural aviation.

Because the airport operates regular instrument-guided flights, passenger jets and turboprops descend and climb at low altitudes over surrounding rural areas, highways, and urban fringes during landing and takeoff phases. Uncoordinated drone operations within these corridors create a severe hazard for commercial flight paths. Consequently, spontaneous, recreational, or unapproved drone flights are completely banned inside the airport's security perimeter and active traffic circuits. Violating this airspace is a federal crime under Article 261 of the Brazilian Penal Code (exposing an aircraft to danger).

Regulatory Authorities: DECEA (Department of Airspace Control), ANAC (National Civil Aviation Agency), and the Rio Grande do Sul State Secretariat of Logistics and Transport.

Primary Framework: Brazilian Air Force Command Instruction ICA 100-40 (Access to Airspace by Unmanned Aircraft Systems) and the Brazilian Penal Code (Art. 261).

Flight Planning Portal: Real-time restriction overlays, active safety grids, and mandatory geofencing zones are managed via DECEA's official SARPAS NG and Aisweb portals.
