Runways | Parking Your Aircraft
Now that you have landed at Oshkosh you need to understand where to
promptly exit the runway. This final part of your arrival is just as
important as the flight procedures - not only for your safety but for
those working on the ground as well.
Exiting Runway 9
If you are piloting an aircraft that weighs less than 6,250 lbs, you
will be expected to exit the runway (left or right as directed) without
delay onto the sod. If the weight exceeds 6,250 lbs, exit the runway via the first
available hard surfaced taxiway.

Once you have
landed exit Runway 9 left or right
as directed onto the sod. |

a Tower Controller or an FAA Controller wearing a
“pink shirt” located at the intersection of the taxiway and Runway
18R.

If you are assigned Runway 36R expect to be asked
to land long and then taxi straight ahead to the end of the Runway. From
the end of the Runway EAA flaggers will direct you to parking. Do not
exit into the grass. Don't exit onto a taxiway unless instructed to
by the controller. If you do exit onto a taxiway hold short of Runway
36L! The tower controller or a controller on the ground (in pink
shirt) will advise you when you can cross Runway 36L.

AFTER LANDING - PARKING
YOUR AIRCRAFT
Once you have cleared your arrival runway place the applicable
“Parking” or “Camping” sign (as described in the NOTAM on page
1) in your
windshield, and follow the volunteer EAA flag personnel, who
will direct you to camping or parking.
Volunteers
During AirVenture all aircraft and
vehicle movements, operating on other than the active runways, are
directed by dozens of wonderful volunteers on the ground. While the Tower controls
operations on the active runways, these ground crew volunteers
coordinate all of the ground movement that takes place during AirVenture.
These volunteers are on the grounds before the
airport opens to arrival operations each morning and stay until the
airport closes each night through rain, shine, and summer heat.
If you see one of these volunteers in their orange shirt or vest, give them not only the respect they
deserve, but a “pat on the back” and
thanks for the assistance they provide.
