ERM β PFB
Which side of the plane to sit from Erechim Airport (Erechim) to Lauro Kurtz Airport (Passo Fundo)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Passo Fundo urban area and the University campus during the final approach, along with the undulating 'Coxilha' landscapes of the Gaucho Highlands.
Rio Dourado Valley
The gentle descent toward the Dourado River basin shortly after leaving the Erechim plateau.
RS-135 Highway
The winding artery that connects the two cities, cutting through the rolling hills of the region.
UPF Campus
The sprawling campus of the University of Passo Fundo, one of the region's largest landmarks, visible during descent.
Passo Fundo Skyline
The high-rise buildings of the 'Capital of the North' coming into view as the aircraft lines up for Runway 08/26.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to catch the sunset over the horizon. During the final approach to PFB, focus your gaze toward the horizon to spot the dense high-rise cluster of central Passo Fundo.
Erechim Radial Planning
The unique star-shaped urban layout of Erechim, inspired by Washington D.C., visible immediately after departure.
Araucaria Clusters
Pockets of native Brazilian Pine (Araucaria angustifolia) that characterize the high plateau vegetation.
Agricultural Mosaic
Vast fields of soybeans and wheat that change colors from deep green to golden brown depending on the harvest season.
GetΓΊlio Vargas
A clear aerial view of the neighboring town and its distinctive local architecture during the mid-flight phase.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and get the best view of the sun illuminating the agricultural plateau. Look for the geometric precision of Erechim's streets during the first two minutes of flight.
