Taubaté houses the main force of the army aviation. Three squadrons, the training and maintenance units can all be found here.
The army air base is part of a large complex with other land force units. The lay out of the airfield is fairly straightforward. It has a huge ramp with large hangars that belong to the army aviation units and maintenance unit. The helicopters tend to make practice approaches and landings on the south side of the runway as well. It is an open base apart from the separate unit gates, such as the airfield gate. The complex itself has a mock castle as gate!
The complex is rather difficult to find. It is to the southeast of Taubaté city and although the road leading to the gate is signposted, this will take some navigating through the southern part of Taubaté. Easiest option is to exit BR-116/Pres.Dutra, find Rua San Pedro and keep following that southbound.
