Air Traffic Control
VFR Arrival Paths - Runway 9
The following routes have been developed for
AirVenture to enable pilots to more easily navigate from Fisk to their
assigned landing runway. The current active arrival runway(s) will be
included on the AirVenture arrival ATIS on frequency 125.9 and via
telephone at 866-493-5553.
Understanding Air Traffic Control at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh
VFR Arrival Paths: Runway
9 | Runway 27 | Runways
18L / 18R | Runways 36L / 36R
Runway 9 (straight-in entry)
- Depart Fisk following the railroad
tracks northeast
- Join the Final Approach Course for
Runway 9
- Unless otherwise directed, passing
Fisk "monitor tower" on frequency 118.5
- Unless ATC advises otherwise, you may
begin your descent for the airport upon passing overhead Fisk.
- Be Alert! IFR aircraft may be inbound
"Straight-In" and via the Left Downwind to Runway 9!
- ATC may request that you land on a
large White Dot painted on the runway. This allows for
simultaneous arrivals and expedites the flow of traffic.
- The White Dot is located
1,828' from the Runway 9 threshold. Remaining runway length from this
point is 4,350'.

CHANGE
OF PLANS
Be prepared! The control
instructions may change from what you were initially told. For instance,
you may have been instructed to "land on the numbers". This
would have been issued if there was another aircraft ahead of you landing
at the White Dot, however by the time you reach the runway…
The other aircraft has exited
the runway, therefore the controller may now instruct you to "land on
the White Dot" which will allow for another aircraft to land behind
you (on the numbers) and still provide for allowable runway separation.
These last minute adjustments
may occur no matter what runway you land on. The only difference will be
the description of the touchdown point ("the numbers" or
White Dot).
Stay alert for traffic ahead
of you on final and also for any potential traffic that may be sequenced
from the left (downwind or base) near the gravel pit.
If a
"Go-Around" is needed, NOTIFY ATC immediately for resequencing
instructions!
EXITING RUNWAYS
See the Exiting
Runways section for details on what is to be expected of you
once you have landed.
