Changes to Arrivals, Departures, and Schedules to be Reviewed in June 14 Webinar
The EAA has announced a few FAA-approved changes in the AirVenture Oshkosh 2023 arrival & departure procedures.
The most noticeable changes will include a change in the ultralight pattern at Wittman Regional Airport, revised guidance for parking areas in the North and South 40, Elimination of the "Fond du Lac" diversion procedure, and some slight changes to air show schedules. The procedures will be in effect from Thursday, July 20th through noon on Monday, July 31st.
The EAA also notes that the name for the document itself has been updated. "The Notice was designed by the FAA to assist pilots in their EAA AirVenture flight planning...it is now known as the Oshkosh Notice instead of a NOTAM because of a changed FAA internal procedure." While the name has changed, the vitality of the info has not. The chaotic but organized influx of hundreds of aircraft and thousands of attendees relies heavily on incoming airmen understanding and following proper procedure.
“The most essential information for any pilot flying to Oshkosh involves reading and thoroughly understanding the 2023 AirVenture Notice to ensure safe operations on arrival and departure,” said Sean Elliott, EAA’s vice president of advocacy and safety. “This FAA Notice document states the official requirements and expectations for pilots. We also urge all pilots to log appropriate cross-country time prior to their trip to Oshkosh so they have the proficiency and confidence to fly safely.”
To help newcomers, the EAA will hold a webinar on June 14th at 1900 hrs CDT to go over the notice.
