Flying Yourself Into OSH For AirVenture Just Got Easier

New Intersection To Aid GPS Pilots

A RIPON intersection has been created to help GPS-equipped pilots fly directly to the start of the EAA AirVenture Oshkosh VFR arrival route. In addition, the official EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2005 Notice to Airmen (NOTAM), now at the FAA for final review and approval, will include streamlined arrival procedures.

As in previous years, the VFR arrival to Wittman Regional Airport (OSH) follows railroad tracks from Ripon, Wisconsin. A newly designated RIPON intersection should help pilots navigate to Ripon while keeping watch for other aircraft. The new intersection is included in the FAA's March 17 database update, so now may be a good time to update the database in your GPS.

"The AirVenture 2005 NOTAM has changes intended to reduce cockpit workload," says Fred Stadler, volunteer EAA NOTAM chairman. "Approach 'flow' diagrams will be replaced with arrival diagrams for each landing runway. When VFR pilots at Fisk are assigned an Oshkosh landing runway, they can select the NOTAM page with specific instructions for that runway."

Although the EAA AirVenture 2005 NOTAM is in the final approval process, you can pre-order your NOTAM booklet by calling 800/JOIN-EAA (800/564-6322).
