Campo de Marte Airport (SBMT), located in the North Zone of São Paulo, is one of the busiest general aviation airfields in Brazil. It serves as a massive operational hub for corporate helicopters, air taxi services, private fixed-wing aircraft, and the state's military and civil police aviation squadrons (such as the Águia and Pelicano fleets). Additionally, it hosts active flight schools, generating continuous low-altitude training traffic.

Because Campo de Marte is embedded directly within a dense metropolitan area and sits beneath the highly complex airspace corridors of Congonhas (SBSP) and Guarulhos (SBGR), flight safety requirements here are extreme. Helicopters and light aircraft constantly enter and exit the traffic pattern at very low altitudes over major urban avenues, residential neighborhoods, and the Tietê River corridor. Any uncoordinated drone activity in this immediate vicinity presents a high risk of a catastrophic mid-air collision. Spontaneous or recreational drone flights within the airfield perimeter or its active traffic patterns are completely banned under federal law (Brazilian Penal Code, Art. 261).

Regulatory Authorities: DECEA, ANAC, and the airport's concessionaire (Pax Aeroportos).

Primary Framework: ICA 100-40 (DECEA) and Article 261 of the Brazilian Penal Code.

Flight Planning Portal: Operational safety grids, specific São Paulo helicopter corridors (REH), and airspace restrictions are managed via SARPAS NG and Aisweb.
