Understanding Air Traffic Control at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh

Oshkosh Tower controllers began working from a new, much taller and more modern control tower during AirVenture 2008.

The information presented here was created by veteran Oshkosh Air Traffic Controllers to give you - the pilot - a better understanding of the Air Traffic Control procedures in use at AirVenture. We hope that after reviewing these pages, you will have a better understanding of:

  1. What you can expect as you arrive and depart Oshkosh, and
  2. What we in ATC expect from you.

Remember, this information is NOT a substitute for the Special Flight Procedures AirVenture Oshkosh NOTAM. Thoroughly review the AirVenture Oshkosh NOTAM prior to your departure and ensure that you have a copy of this NOTAM with you before arriving at Ripon.

Please take the time to "brush up" on your flying skills before embarking on your journey to AirVenture. Being comfortable with your flying abilities will go a long way in making your experience more enjoyable!

We look forward to working with you this summer and hope this information helps you during those first busy moments of your visit to AirVenture 2009.

Each year we work to improve our Air Traffic Procedures through feedback from you, our customers. Please take the time to provide input on these procedures through the "Feedback to ATC" link. Please feel free to provide input on what worked well as well as areas that we could improve upon.
