Key Takeaways:

PilotEdge's SimVenture 2023 is a virtual aviation event scheduled from July 13-16, offering participants the chance to simulate flying into the EAA AirVenture at Oshkosh.
The event provides a unique opportunity to practice the specific VFR arrival and departure procedures for AirVenture using a flight simulator, guided by actual Oshkosh air traffic controllers.
SimVenture is beneficial for real-world pilots to brush up on nonstandard VFR skills and build confidence, while also allowing flight simulator enthusiasts to experience the thrill of flying into AirVenture virtually.
Originating in 2020, SimVenture has grown into a successful annual event, evolving into a valuable training rehearsal for the real-world AirVenture, with thousands of virtual arrivals each year.
