With no AirVenture Oshkosh convention in 2020 due to the pandemic, officials at the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) have had well over a year to put some serious thought into ways their 2021 AirVenture Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) can better serve the thousands of pilots who fly into the show each summer. The 32-page notam for AirVenture 2021 has now been released and reflects numerous changes that all inbound pilots need to read and know.
EAA’s AirVenture 2021 Notam Introduces Numerous Changes
Key Takeaways:
- The EAA has released a revised 32-page Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) for AirVenture 2021, detailing important arrival and departure procedures after the 2020 cancellation.
- A significant change includes new ATC-assignable transition points (Endeavor Bridge, Puckaway Lake, Green Lake) on the FISK VFR Arrival from the west to ease holding and congestion during peak traffic.
- These changes aim to improve safety and pilot comfort by addressing past issues of oversaturation and large holds, particularly during sudden rushes due to weather changes.
- Pilots are strongly encouraged to thoroughly read the new NOTAM, monitor ATIS for assigned transition points, and utilize available resources such as a preparatory webinar.
