Florianópolis - Hercilio Luz

1Terminal view

The terminal offers opportunities to view the ramps and keep an eye on approach 21 and 14.

2North east side approach 32

From the residential area that is to the north east of the airport, good views can be had of runway 32. Down side is that it is to the north of the runway. Exit the terminal and go right onto Rua Osvaldo Bittencourt. Were this road meets Rua Aviador you should be able to find a spot.

3Southeast side approach runway 32

The south side of runway 32 is a rural area. To get there, go back to the junction with So-405 and follow that southbound. After 2.5 km go right. Some 4 km later the road bends sharply to the left, go right there. You will now be entering an experimental farm which is accessible but private property. You should ask for permission to stay on their grounds. This gives access to spot 3 and 4. For spot 3 go right and follow the track to the fence.

4South side view runway 32

For spot 4 do not go right after entering the farm on José Olímpio da Silva, but continue straight. this track will get increasingly hard to negotiate and will end at a spot about one third down the runway. Probably best to leave the car at the entrance portal and walk the 1.5 km or so.

5South side approach runway 03

Head back on Olímpio da Silva, go right and after the small residential area go right onto Rodovia Açordiana. Upon entering the village take the fourth road to the right José Coreia, this is the first major one with a small canal on running on the west side. It is about 200 metres from the edge of the village. Follow this to the end of the village and start of the airfield perimeter. From that spot the aircraft using 03 will come straight over head as you are just to the east of the centre line. The airfield itself is obscured by woodland.
