FAA Releases Arrival, Departure Information For More Than
10,000 Aircraft Expected
The FAA has released the EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2011 Notice to
Airmen (NOTAM), highlighting arrival and departure procedures for
the more than 10,000 aircraft expected at Experimental Aircraft
Association's 59th annual fly-in convention, which will be held
July 25-31 at Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh.
The NOTAM, which is in effect July 22-August 1, outlines
procedures for the many types of aircraft that fly to Oshkosh for
the event, as well as aircraft that land at nearby airports. It was
designed by FAA, in partnership with EAA, to assist pilots in their
AirVenture flight planning. While the overall procedure is similar
to past years, there are some noteworthy changes compared to the
2010 version.
Some of those changes include:
- Madison and Muskegon Approach Control frequencies
- Central Wisconsin Restricted Area and MOA activity
- Aircraft types eligible for Turbine/Warbird Arrival
- Low-altitude IFR departure routes from OSH and surrounding
airports
A high influx of VFR arrivals is expected to begin at Oshkosh on
Saturday and Sunday, July 23-24. Besides following the published
arrival and departure procedures in the AirVenture NOTAM, pilots
should maintain high vigilance in watching for other aircraft.
Pilots are expected to have a copy of the NOTAM available for
in-flight reference.
The free copy of NOTAM is available to order or download, or by calling EAA
Membership Services at 800-564-6322. Additional hints and tips for
pilots arriving at and departing from EAA AirVenture 2011 also is
available online.
This year's NOTAM cover photo features a row of U.S. Navy T-28
training aircraft. Several top-level attractions and events will
commemorate the week-long Centennial of Naval Aviation at
AirVenture 2011, which has been classified a Tier 1 event by the
U.S. Navy for its year-long celebration.
