Flight Sim Pilots - SimVenture 2021

Ever dreamed of flying into KOSH during the world’s biggest airshow? The Oshkosh arrival during AirVenture is the stuff of legend, and many pilots make flying it a bucket list item. (It’s on mine, for sure!) Last year, when AirVenture was cancelled due to the pandemic, PilotEdge and EAA teamed up to create a virtual experience for flight sim pilots – and it was a huge success, with over 1000 arrivals during the event. It’s back this year, with several enhancements that should make it even more exciting and realistic! And as before, REAL ATC controllers who have worked KOSH and AirVenture will be staffing the ATC positions on PilotEdge for the event!

Most aircraft approach the field under VFR via something called the Fisk arrival procedure. Here’s a diagram:
