EAA AVIATION CENTER, OSHKOSH, Wisconsin — There are several FAA-approved changes in the EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2022 Notice — the new name for the Oshkosh NOTAM.
The Notice features arrival and departure procedures for the Experimental Aircraft Association’s 69th fly-in convention on July 25-31 at Wittman Regional Airport (KOSH) in Oshkosh.
The changes are based on pilot feedback and FAA review of arrival procedure recommendations, EAA officials noted.
The document, which is in effect from noon CDT on Thursday, July 21, until 6 a.m. CDT on Monday, Aug. 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.
Some of the 2022 changes include:
- The document is now officially called a Notice by the FAA, rather than a NOTAM.
- Two VORs have been decommissioned (RFD and MBL).
- Several IFR routings have been changed.
- Aircraft camping is no longer allowed at Appleton International Airport (KATW).
The ATC-assignable transition points approaching Oshkosh from the west that will ease holding and congestion will again be in effect in 2022. These points are at Endeavor Bridge, Puckaway Lake, and Green Lake. They will be announced on the arrival ATIS when ATC activates them at times of highest traffic flows, EAA officials explained.
“The most essential information for any pilot flying to Oshkosh involves reading and thoroughly understanding the 2022 AirVenture Notice to ensure safe operations on arrival and departure,” said Sean Elliott, EAA’s vice president of advocacy and safety. “Although the designation may have been changed by the FAA, the document still 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.”
EAA is hosting a webinar on June 22 at 7 p.m. with tips on flying to AirVenture 2022 and changes in this year’s Notice. You can register for the webinar here.
