Answer:
How to Fly Into a Big Airshow With Confidence
It takes planning and practice to land on the green dot.
Key Takeaways:
- Thoroughly study the extensive EAA AirVenture NOTAM, released a month prior, paying close attention to arrival/departure procedures and radio frequencies, and keep a hard copy in the cockpit.
- Practice concise radio communications due to high traffic volume, and refine flying techniques such as coordinated wing rocks and precise spot landings on designated marks.
- Consider flying with an experienced pilot or a CFI familiar with large airshows for an added layer of safety and a second set of eyes during the event.
