EAA AVIATION CENTER, OSHKOSH, Wisconsin — Pilots can now download the FAA’s EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2026 Notice, commonly referred to as the Oshkosh NOTAM.
The NOTAM features arrival and departure procedures for the Experimental Aircraft Association’s 73rd fly-in on July 20-26 at Wittman Regional Airport (KOSH) in Oshkosh.
The document, which is in effect from noon CDT on Thursday, July 16, until noon CDT on Monday, July 27, outlines procedures for the aircraft that fly to Oshkosh for the event, as well as aircraft that land at nearby airports.
The ATC-assignable transition points approaching Oshkosh from the west that will ease holding and congestion will again be in effect in 2026, according to EAA officials. 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.
“The most essential information for any pilot flying to Oshkosh involves reading and thoroughly understanding the 2026 AirVenture Notice to ensure safe operations on arrival and departure,” said Sean Elliott, EAA’s vice president of advocacy and safety. “We urge all pilots to adequately prepare prior to their trip to Oshkosh and consider such things as our AirVenture arrival flight review so they have the proficiency and confidence to fly safely.”
EAA is hosting a webinar on June 17 at 7 p.m. CDT regarding flying to AirVenture 2026 and changes in this year’s Notice. You can register for the webinar here.
Pilots can download a digital version of the Notice at EAA.org/NOTAM, order a free printed copy via that website, or by calling EAA Membership Services at 800-564-6322.
