Key Takeaways:

  • Attendees flying to the AOPA Fly-In at Frederick Municipal Airport (KFDK) must review established approach procedures and download the fly-in package due to increased traffic and nearby restricted airspace.
  • The event offers a variety of activities including seminars (like the Rusty Pilots Seminar and a Town Hall with AOPA's president Mark Baker), safety briefings, and exhibitors.
  • The fly-in kicks off with a Barnstormers party featuring the "Living in the Age of Airplanes" movie and includes a pancake breakfast and an ice-cream social before its 4 p.m. closing.

If you are planning on attending the AOPA Fly-In this weekend at the organization’s headquarters in Frederick, Maryland, this video is a must-see. You need to learn the established approach procedure to reduce the risk of flying with the increased traffic flowing into Frederick Municipal Airport (KFDK). The procedure is further complicated by the fact that the airport is located right between two restricted areas: the massive Washington, D.C., special flight rules area and Camp David.

In addition to the video, which explains the procedures quite nicely, you need to download the fly-in package from the AOPA website to make sure that you have all the data within reach during the preflight planning.
