 The
official EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2007 Notice To Airmen (NOTAM) booklets
are hot off the press and ready to be mailed out to pilots planning to
fly to The World's Greatest Aviation Celebration on July 23-29. The
Oshkosh NOTAM is also available in easy-to-print PDF document form on
the AirVenture website. Those who
have already placed their booklet orders can expect to receive their
copies soon, while others can call EAA Membership Services at
800/JOIN-EAA (564-6322) and order a free copy today.
Procedures outlined in the 28-page printed
NOTAM are in effect from Friday, July 20, through Sunday, July 29, which
is a full day earlier than previous years. The NOTAM outlines procedures
for the many types of aircraft that fly to Oshkosh for the event, as
well as aircraft that land at nearby airports. It was designed by FAA,
with close cooperation of EAA, to assist pilots in preparations for
their AirVenture flights. If you plan to fly to EAA AirVenture this
year, the NOTAM is required reading before making your trip, so become
familiar with Oshkosh's unique arrival and departure procedures.
Other changes this year include:
- The FAA will use a new, higher-powered
frequency for the EAA AirVenture 2007 Arrival ATIS this year,
118.75. This will allow pilots at a distance from Oshkosh to receive
ATIS information sooner.
- A new landing area has been
established for helicopters.
- Flight hours in the North and South
Flight Service Briefing Annexes have been expanded.
