Several important changes in air traffic control procedures are included in the FAA's Notice to airmen for this year's Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) AirVenture, which will be held July 25 to 31 at Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. The notice is in effect from noon CDT July 21 until 6 a.m. CDT on August 1. It outlines procedures for aircraft that fly to Oshkosh for the event, as well as aircraft that land at nearby airports.
Some of the changes for 2022 include notices that the RFD and MBL VORs have been decommissioned; modification of several IFR routings; and aircraft camping is no longer allowed at Appleton International Airport.
“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 EAA v-p of advocacy and safety Sean Elliott. "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. regarding flying to AirVenture 2022 and explaining changes in this year’s notice.
