Fazenda Santa Clara Heliport

The specific reason is not officially recorded. For a small, private heliport located on a farm ('fazenda'), closure is almost certainly due to private circumstances rather than public action. Likely reasons include: the property owner no longer owning or operating a helicopter, the sale of the farm to a new owner with no aviation needs, or the landing site simply falling into disuse and its registration (if any) lapsing. There is no information to suggest closure was due to a specific accident, military conversion, or broader economic downturn.

Based on satellite imagery of the coordinates (-22.037634, -42.337114), the site is a private rural property. The area that once may have been used as a helipad is now an open, grassy field, indistinguishable from the surrounding pastures and agricultural land of the farm. There is no visible remaining aviation infrastructure, such as markings, a hangar, or a windsock. The land is currently used for agricultural or private residential purposes as part of the larger 'fazenda'.

The heliport held no public or major historical significance. It was a private landing site exclusively serving the Fazenda Santa Clara, a rural farm/estate in the Cordeiro municipality. Its operations would have been extremely limited, consisting of private, non-commercial helicopter flights for the transport of the property's owner, family, or guests. It did not support commercial, cargo, or public passenger services.

There are no known or published plans to reopen the heliport. As a private facility on private land, any initiative to reactivate it would depend entirely on the current landowner's needs and financial ability to operate a helicopter and maintain a landing site. This would also require inspection and registration with Brazil's National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC). Given the lack of any information, the prospect of reopening is considered highly unlikely.
