💡 Local Tip
If you're based here, arrange hangar or ramp space ahead and check NOTAMs; the field is convenient for avoiding Porto Alegre congestion but sits close to busy terminal airspace.
🚖 Getting There
Use a taxi or ride-hailing app from Gravataí center or Porto Alegre; there is no regular airport shuttle. By car, access is via the BR-290/RS-118 corridor, and travel times can rise sharply at peak hours. If you are being picked up, share the exact terminal or hangar location because the small airfield has limited signage.
