Resumo
The state of Acre, located in the Brazilian Amazon, comprises vast remote areas with limited ground access making air transpor essential for ensuring population mobility and access to health services. The Cessna C208B Grand Caravan Ex aircraft was selected due to its recent acquisition by the Acre Military Fire Department, aiming to ensure efficiency and safety in emercency operations and medical response. This study aims to asses the technical feasibility of operating this aircraft in private aerodromes within the state of Acre based on the existing infrastructure Thirteen aerodromes were analyzed in terms of runway dimensions and pavement strenght. The results indicate that ten aerodromes meet the minimum operational requirements fo the reference aircraft. The runways at Fazenda Santa Lúcia and Fazenda Santa Tereza must be extended to ensure safe takeoff and landing distances. At Fazenda Nitcheroy, pavement reinforcement is necessary due to insuficiente bearing capacity, unless aircraft weight restrictions are imposed during operations. The study confirms that round-trip flights between the most remote aerodromes in Acre are operationally feasible, considering the aricraft’s maximum range. These findings highlight the potential of using the Grand Caravan EX to enhance regional air mobility and support essential services especially in isolated communities.
